Masculine Card Using Florals




Betsy has an amazing video today about making a masculine project with florals. 
Betsy’s card  gorgeous , you’ll want to check it out using the link above! 


Ok, I kinda like this card but wish I made the top
layer a little lighter, seems to heavy for a top layer.
I may do a remake.


 I will have to ask my husband, later what he thinks .
Still might be to feminine for him.


I am very happy with the cluster and one flower. 
I used the wood impression plate then took the ink
pad over the top to get it darker(classic kraft and harvest gold)
 All products are Papertrey Ink with the exception of a few Stampin Up Inks

 I hope you all have a wonderful week!

  5. Great colors! I think it turned out really well, and considering it's for a guy, the top layer isn't too heavy.

  14. I saw the teaser on Instagram and had to come over and see the full card. It's fabulous. I'm curious to hear your husband's opinion on its masculinity. I think it would be great for most men, just maybe not a dude's dude. You know, the type who crushes beer cans on his forehead while cheering on his football team. ;-)

  26. Like how your florals are peeking out from the woodgrain, which I don't think is too dark at all!

  27. My comment will be, as it typically is, that this is absolutely gorgeous! The comment that 'counts' however, comes from my husband, who gives it two thumbs up! Handsome and striking!

  29. Is it safe to say a masculine card is rich and elegant? Marybeth, this is fabulous and anyone would love it with those Fall colors. Don't think you need a redo IMHO.
