We had a family birthday party last night for my mother-in-law AND my brother-in -law, so I also had a masculine card to make.
Who knew that a piece of DSP from the Pawsitively Prints pack (#117396), designed specifically for the Build-A-Bear line, would work perfectly for a guy card ?!?
To me, argyle has always been for the golfer and when I saw the colors, I knew it would work. The small stripes across the greens was daffodil delight, but I did not want that to be an overwhelming feature. The only yellow I added is the mat and the 3 brads. All the ink is always artichoke, both stamping and sponging. The card stock is artichoke, as well as certainly celery.
I did some paper piercing and distressing, which is great for a guys card, and the sponging just adds to the feel. The image is from the single On The Green (#117139) stamp.
It all came together nicely and is perfect for the man in the family. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
I love what you did with this combination!

This turned out great and is perfect for a "masculine" card.
