CWS Masculine Card

 

I was inspired by the masculine card blog hop that the Creative Worship Stamps team posted today and decided to play along. I went with a blue/brown color palette which seems to be a masculine option IMO. I blended some Classic Kraft ink around all the edges and splattered some Stormy Sky distress ink onto the background. After clear embossing over Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, I used an aqua painter brush to color the butterfly with Stormy Sky and Brushed Corduroy distress inks.

STAMPS: Spring Collage Tag, Made New (Creative Worship Stamps).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Stormy Sky, Brushed Corduroy distress inks; Classic Kraft (Papertrey Ink). 

PAPER: Rustic Cream, Classic Kraft, True Black (PTI).

Chevy Birthday

 

Needed another masculine birthday card for a car lover, so out came the Spellbinders stamps/dies for another Chevy creation. It also fits for the masculine theme happening at The Paper Players challenge (oops...I missed the deadline) and it fits for the Festive Friday challenge (stencils, gears, vehicles). I had to go with a 5"x7" card size to be able to fit all the elements onto the front.

The car takes a awhile to assemble so this entire card was labor intensive! I love the gear stencil with Weathervane ink for the background.  

STAMPS: Cruisin' By Sentiments (Spellbinders).

INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Weathervane (Papertrey Ink).

PAPER: Stampers Select White, Soft Stone, True Black, Pure Poppy, Weathervane (Papertrey Ink); Metallic silver; Aqua Sky (Concord & 9th); Pool (Foiled Fox).

DIES: Classic Car, Speedometer (Spellbinders); Slanted Shortcuts (Concord & 9th).

OTHER: Grunge Gears stencil (Creative Worship Stamps).

That's all for now. Sun is out after a ferocious thunderstorm last PM! Enjoy your weekend!  ~Wanda

Word Art Wednesday

 

Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday! We are nearing Father's Day and this verse references "mighty men". I computer printed the verse at 50% size onto some patterned paper. I die cut the background using a torn edge die then sponged the edges with Enchanted Evening ink. I stenciled with the burlap stencil using Broken China distress ink. All the images were from Tim Holtz' The Journey stamp set. It included 2 arrow stamps which fit the verse perfectly.

STAMPS: The Journey (Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection).

INK: Broken China distress (Ranger); Enchanted Evening (PTI).

PAPER: Vintage Shabby 12x12 pad (Tim Holtz idea-ology); Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Love to Layer: Torn Edges (Papertrey Ink).

OTHER: Burlap stencil (Tim Holtz).

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

 

I needed a break from all the paper work that happens after a spouse's death, so what better way to relax than to create a card?! I pulled this leftover background of layered stamping paired with Liquitex light modeling paste and a dot stencil. I clear embossed a large echinacea and used an aqua painter brush and some distress inks to color it. I'm entering this into the The Paper Players tic-tac-toe challenge using the vertical row of die cut, stenciling and layers.

 

STAMPS: Patient Echinacea, Spring Collage Tag (Creative Worship Stamps); French Market (Tim Holtz Visual Artistry Collection by Stampers Anonymous).

Word Art Wednesday Ps. 147:4

 

Good Wednesday everyone! Welcome to another Word Art Wednesday challenge with Psalm 147:4 as our inspiration verse. It's all about stars so that made it easy to begin. 

I stenciled the background with Speckled Egg distress ink using the Night Sky Background stencil from Papertrey Ink. I then die cut the middle sized frame called Border Bling: Skinny Star (PTI). The silver glitter, silver mirror and silver matte stars were die cut with an old die set by My Favorite Things. I computer generated the sentiment at 45% on Sno-Cone paper by Cardstock Warehouse Paper Company.

Hope you can play along for a chance to win a gift card from our generous sponsor! Happy stamping!  ~Wanda
