Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a birthday card for my hubby. I always stress when I need to make a male card. Being someone who loves pink, bows and cuteness makes it hard to switch to a more masculine design. As you can tell, I kept the cute critters, but I am sure hubby will love the ‘rusty truck’ (and the pile of presents!).
Mini slimline cards are my favorite design for making scene cards. I started with a white card base and cut two white panels with a slim line die from my stash. On one panel, I stamped the long fence with tree and grass border from the Fall Scenes set, I made sure to leave about an inch of paper beneath the fence to color in more grass. Then I used the matching die to cut along the top of the fence.
This way, I created the lower part
of my scene as a separate piece which fits perfectly on top of the second
panel. As always, I used my Copics for the coloring.
My second panel was a bit more challenging, I decided to draw my own ‘hillside’ in Copic. I switched between several tones of greens for more dimension. The top part of this piece was turned into a sky using a stencil from my stash and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide. I mounted the fence panel piece with foam tape on top of the hills scene and glued the whole to the card base.
To set the scene, I stamped a cute cat (Party Pets) and a fox driving a rusty truck (Truckloads of Love). I love how a underlayer of brown Copic coloring can achieve that worn look! For my sentiment (stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink) I used a small phrase from Party Pets and a large Happy Birthday (Big Bold Greetings). Finally, I added a few Iridescent Clear Jewels.
I hope you will like this idea for a masculine card! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting.
