Hello and welcome! I have a new post to share today as it's time for a new
optional theme at
Allsorts challenge. This
week we'd love to see "Masculine" creations but of course the
Anything Goes option is there for those who just want to share their
new creations with us so come join us for your chance to win one of our
prizes. This month we have prizes from Craft Stash, Anna Marie Designs,
AALL and Create,
Oakwood and
Wowvow
which will be for the weekly challenges ending in September and then announced
in our winners post the last Friday of the month.
The starting point for my card was a narrow-ish piece of previously inked
cardstock where I had used green and blue inks, perfect for a masculine card.
So this card came together quite quickly.
The harlequin stencil was right at the
top of my stencil stash and I thought it would be a perfect choice on a
masculine card. To decide on a focal image I looked through my box of mixed
brand of masculine stamps, these are mostly old wood mounted single
stamps I found at thrift stores over the years and and that's how I decided
on the cowboy stamp by Magenta. It's actually just one stamp with the images
horizontal on a wooden block but I cut them apart after stamping and
assembled them in a vertical way. Before I did that I thought the background
needed something more and once again I reached for my new Friendship Flowers
stamp set by Aall and Create and used a stamp from that set. I then also used an old script stamp from Just for Fun Rubberstamps (company is no longer in business.) Mounted the image panel on navy card stock and then a white card base. The
sentiment is from Stampers Anonymous
Tiny Text.

The card measures approximatley 4x8 inches and fits well into a legal
envelope with a bit extra room lengthwise in the envelope. I'm not
usually a fan of tall cards but somehow I really like how this one
turned out :)
