As a counterpoint to the watercoloring I’ve been doing, I’ve been creating masculine cards using inspiration from Catherine Pooler’s Creativity Grows Here Cards for Him Online Class
I really like to make variations when I’m putting ideas into practice, so starting with inspiration from the Nautical section of the class and adding a CAS lesson from Maureen Merritt, who’s part of the Stamp Nation Design Team, I created three cards!
With three men in my life (my husband and two sons), I’m often in need of masculine cards. I’ve always had a thing for anything nautical, starting with my first trip to the Pacific Ocean. I guess we didn’t pack a suitcase for me, so we went to May & Co. in San Diego and bought a nautical switsuit. I still remember it quite vividly, including its anchor belt! And I always like anything red, white and blue, especially this time of year.
Supplies:
WPlus9 Design Dockside, Dockside Background
Wplus9 Design Tag Die
Impression Obsession Thin Line Background
My Favorite Things Wood Plank Background
Sizzix embossing folders
These cards are wonderful, Jean! Love the nautical colour scheme and the CAS design.
Nautical is such a great theme for masculine cards, and all three of your cards are awesome, Jean! I also love that you chose red, white, and blue, and your embossed backgrounds are the perfect touch!
