Masculine Card for Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central

Hello Friends,


Today I bring a card to show you for the masculine challenge at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central.
I must confess.. this is the hardest challenge for me.. everytime I have to make a masculine card, my mind just blocks.. so Ladies, forgive me if you don`t like it... I really had a hard time to think in something for maculine..


Here it is:

For the background I used a sizzix template and then colored with blue ink using ranger ink blending tool from Tim Holtz.


On the central of the card, I used a pastel blue cardstock from DCWV and then I used my Fleur de Lis rectangules stamp from Stamping Scrapping Designs that also matches perfectly with Latice rectangules spellbinders.


I used my Grand Cabibur to emboss the white paper for the background and also to cut the blue paper using my nestabilitie.


In each corner, I used a glitter circle brad from my stash.

I'm entering this card in the follwing challenges:

• Cards for men: no design paper
• Craft your passion: what a guy

Well Ladies, that is a very simple card so no much to say!!  Please, share with me your thoughts about it!!


Thanks so much for stopping by today!!


Hugs & Kisses,


Vivi

I used sizzix template on my background and embossed it using my Grand Calibur machine.. but unfortunately you cant see much.. but there is hearts on it...  this is my fave embossing plate... I use it all the time!!

I cut the white square with eyelet square nestabilities, also using my Grand Calibur.   Red rectangule paper was cut with Martha Stewart punch!  love this punch!

For my image I picked Tilda with Heart Lace and colored her with copic markers.

I hope you like  my card!!
