and the finished inside:
I just scored this wooden stamp at Tuesday Morning the other day (at a steal of a price!) while gallivanting about town with my neighbor. I loaded it up first with Versa Mark then with Paris Dusk ink before stamping and embossing it with clear EP.
Oooh! Shiny!!
I used the largest deckled rectangle Nestie (which was just too small), but I solved that problem simply by tracing around then fussy cutting it. (The things we do for our art!) The inside sentiment is also stamped with Paris Dusk, although it looks black. (Trust me, it's blue.) I stamped a tweed pattern on the card base with Versa Mark ink, and took my heat gun to it before adhering the main panel with thin foam squares.

ReplyDeleteGreat masculine card - you've reminded me that I've got that tweed background stamp lurking in my stash somewhere, need to get it out! Thanks so much for playing along at Seize The Birthday :)
ReplyDeleteThat is totally my default for guy cards - make em funny! Love the embossing and seriously, that is dedication to cut that out by hand!
ReplyDeleteCool masculine card Chris. Love the bold sentiment and the heat embossing. The tweed background is awesome. Thank you for playing along with us at The Color Throwdown.
ReplyDeleteGreat score with that sentiment! It perfectly describes most men I know. Love the way you embossed it and paired it with that chevron background.
