Hi Pinkfresh friends! I am on the blog today and decided to share masculine cards using similar products. I used the Fluttering Butterflies Stamp, Washi, Fluttering Butterflies Dies, Notched Corner Frame dies along with the Stippled Plaid press plate, Happy Vibes Stamp, Happy Vibes Dies.

First I decided to use a soft and happy color palette.

I started by using the press plate with the Betterpress Letterpress System without inking the plate for a soft texture. Next, I used masking technique and sponged inks (Rocky Slope, Sky Blue, Lemon Whip).

Inking inks this way enhances the texture of the plate and I love the clean straight lines for a boy card. Adhere this panel to a light blue cardbase.

Next I stamped the image onto vellum using watermark ink, sprinkle opaque white embossing powder, heat set. Die-cut the image. Add color to part of the image using alcohol markers.

Stamp the sentiment from the Happy Vibes stamp set using Detail Black ink, die-cut. Assemble the cluster and adhere the sentiment using 3d foam.

For the 2nd card, I used a bold color palette, still keeping some softness.

I applied Stargazer ink to the press plate and used Betterpress system to get the effect. Die-cut this panel using the Notched Corner Frame die and adhere to a blue cardstock.

Die-cut a smaller white panel, sponge Lemon Whip ink to the top and Hydrangea ink to the bottom. Adhere to the card using 3d foam.

Adhere the Washi to vellum, die-cut. Vellum gives a soft and beautiful look by keeping the washi texture. Create the cluster. Stamp the sentiment using Stargazer and Opulence inks, die-cut and adhere to the card.

Hope these cards give you some inspiration on how we can easily create masculine cards in different styles by using the similar supplies.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
