This week at
it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's going with a favourite of mine, "Make It Masculine!". Now how you make it "masculine" is completely up to your interpretation. It doesn't necessarily have to be for someone male, or have an image of a boy/man. Masculine to you might mean bold or dark colours. It might mean clean lines. Or maybe you've made a card for a special "he" who loves pink and flowers. It's all good. (:
This is what I did....
I love this reindeer from Tiddly Inks. A lot of the masculine themed cards I make are heavy on the brown. No exception with this one. Clean lines, and some vehicle patterned paper, all = masculine in my book. Not that I have an actual "masculine book", of course. (-;
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

that holiday reindeer is fantastic ... so very glad you shared your Holiday Leftovers with us at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely darling! I love the closeup look at your cute little reindeer. I agree, the brown gives it a definite masculine vibe.
ReplyDeleteThere is something especially cute about that reindeer. He (only because it's a masculine card) makes me feel happy. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Janice!
YOWZA! This is all kinds of awesome, not to mention inspiring my secret glee that other ppl cut a small scrap in half and hide the seam behind another element, lol! So pleased you could join our Jingle Belles fun celebrating Holiday Leftovers!
ReplyDeletePS: I was inspired by your amazing method of coloring stamped images on TEXTURED cardstock to stamp and emboss on textured and get a similarly unique and beautiful look... for which I thank you very much oh crafty genius! ♥♥♥
This is soo cute 😃 love it. Thanks for joining Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge.
