Welcome to another Creative Showcase with the Art With Heart Team.
This month we are featuring Masculine themed projects.
We have many masculine themed products in the Stampin’ Up! range including Stamp Sets and coordinating Dies, Designer Series Papers, Embellishments and Embossing Folders.
Art With Heart Team have a wonderful selection of projects to inspire you to create Masculine Masterpieces.
I have done something a little different with my masculine card today, in that I have used some Designer Series Paper that is definitely not masculine.
It’s the Best Dressed DSP and probably not one you would have chosen for a masculine card. But I have used the reverse side of this one….
and used it as a background for my masculine card.
And I also wanted to keep it nice and simple, so have taken a piece of the fabulous watercolour paper, wet it down with an aqua painter, and then swooshed some ink across it, very quickly and freely.
Then once the watercolour paper was dry, I stamped the lighthouse and birds from the Sailing Home stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink, and the words are from the New Wonders stamp set.
Layered over some Pretty Peacock cardstock, and it’s a very quick and easy card to make.
The next demonstrator to share their Masculine project with you is the very talented …..
Kate Morgan.
I hope you enjoy all of the inspiration.
Happy stamping!
Chris

Aren’t you clever in lining up the part of the wash that looks like light with the top of the lighthouse?! It looks fantastic, and great choice of DSP.
