CSSMasculineKrafts

Colors inspired by this: rich earthy tones mingled with a peaceful aqua-blue.

for some special dad (like my own) ----- created with this kraft cardstock, cute buttons, and this stamp set just for the boys in your life.

I won't lie; I still struggle when it comes to making cards for men. But this stamp set makes it just a little bit more simple to ease yourself into that little niche... hope it will help you too.

And one more robin-egg card, in girl-style. The flowers and leaves are vintage millinery, mixed with some buttons and burlap.

Spot the hidden sentiment!! :)

That's my take on the group challenge for today! Thanks for stopping by... I'll be back soon.

  5. Love how you add more embellishments to your masculine cards. I always keep mine so simple- but I think men can appreciate these things too!

  8. Aww you used my ribbons! *wipes tear* Found fiddling with them a bit makes them soft again, if the stiffness bothers you just do that! ^_^

    Did not realise the hidden sentiment until the second time I came back here to comment, cool :D
