Today I am presenting a masculine card as part of my mini series on patterned paper. Patterned papers are really handy for masculine cards as you can get so many designs in every colour you can think of.
Materials:
- Black (Kasdak, 210gsm, raven black) and white (Trophee, 240gsm, white linen) card. Plus watercolour paper and black square patterned paper (Cre8tiv).
- Distress ink pads in mowed lawn, salty ocean and black soot.
- Alphabet stamps (I used two sets one from Rosie's Studio the other by Cre8tiv)
- Black and light blue ink
- Homemade enamel dots
Directions:
- Cut your card base from the black card. Cut a piece of watercolour paper larger than the front of the card base. Trim the patterned paper so that it is 1cm shorter on each side than the card base.
- Create the watercolour background by pressing the distress ink pads in a random pattern over a piece of plastic or a craft sheet. Spray with water to get the ink to pool up and press the watercolour piece into it moving it around to blend the colours together. Repeat if desired. Leave to dry.
- Cut down the watercolour piece so that it is 0.5 cm shorter than the card base. Adhere the patterned piece on top and then the two pieces to the card base.
- Stamp the word "birthday" with the large alphabet stamps in the light blue ink on to the white card. Using the distress inks again colour over the letters using a damp brush. Stamp 'it's your' above the birthday in black ink. Cut down the piece and adhere it to the card front. Add a few enamel dots.
That's it for today's card, if you want to know how to make your own enamel dots go have a search on you tube for a video tutorial.
Join me next week for the continuation of the mini series!
