I need 6 masculine Birthday Cards for the first 2 weeks of Aug...I was feeling a bit overwhelmed because I started working on them Aug 1st, some of them are going to arrive inthe mail a little late. I decided to make 6 of the same card! Did I ever mention I hate coming up with ideas for masculine cards!
My girls were at camp all week; it made me think of my "bear" from the "Under the Stars" SU Set. I love to water color this bear with H2O painters and my Watercolor Wonder Crayons..I love those things..I used Chocolate Chip, More Mustard and a bit of Creamy Caramel to ground him. I need to get where I cut out a few little mask for the teeth so they stay nice and white, or vanilla in this case, especially if I do 6 cards! I got a little lazy with the painting. I use a very thin color and keep adding more on the sides I want shaded darker until I get the color I want. I am pushing and pulling the color depending on how wet it is and sometimes the pushing gets a little sloppy.
For the cardstock I chose to use the new Dusty Durango...(I really like this color), Always Artichoke and Chocolate Chip. For the "bear" panel I chose to cut the Chocolate Chip about 3/4" longer than the image. I used my SU paper piercer guide to mark the edges of the cs every other hole starting one hole below the image. I wanted the SU linen thread to stay separated and be more defined. I then used my 1/8th circle punch to punch abt a half of the circle out on the edges where I marked withthe piercer. I really like the linen on Masculine cards. I used Very Vanilla Cardstock for the base of my card and all the stamped images...I think I have been doing that alot lately. I sent the Durango and the Artichoke through my cuttlebug using the mosaic and Leafy Branch folders. The sentiment comes form SU "Teeny Tiny Verses" set.
Until Later ... Happy Stamping!
