Today's masculine card has been inspired by a few challenges.....
I have used Uniko stamps from three different stamp sets.
The sets, I think, lend themselves towards masculine cards.
They have been stamped in shades of grey and the main sentiment heat embossed.
The die cut cool dude has been water coloured and then crackle glazed over the top.
Stencilling and water colouring at the bottom in blues and greys.
I enjoy making masculine cards and this one is going to my nephew.
Thank you for stopping by....

Hi Mac! Your use of the three Uniko stamp sets is fantastically artistic! Your cards always speak to me - such wonderful symbolism in your creative process - loving the perpetuity of the birthday, and how those birthdays are a strength holding us up! LOL without them, where would we be? It's a fabulous creation! xx

Wow Mac, this is stunning. Love how you have placed the sentiment and the wonderful, limited colour palette! The embossed die cut is so dramatic

Your cool blue dude is fabulous. Love the sentiment placement. Great teen card.
Love your “BE” take on the twofer. That is unconventional and fabulous.

This is a FANTASTIC masculine card! Love the colors, and all the graphic details that make it manly

An absolutely fabulous masculine creation Mac and creative it certainly is and I'm sure your nephew will be bowled over by it as it is so unique. I love the way the image is leaning aginst that geometric shape with the horizontal sentiment, and love the circular detail behind it, and then the watercoloured stencilling as a grounding for the figure is just perfect. x
You continue to amaze with your unique cards and the clever techniques that you use... This is terrific!
You've cracked... no pun intended the male species of cards. I love that crackled guy, he makes a fabulous feature leaning up again those birthday words. Fabulous piece of creative thinking. Thank you for this inspiring creation. Hugs Tracey xx
This is brilliant Mac, I've been eyeing it off on the CAS Watercolour blog and thought it was so cool... that's a fab die cut of the boy and you've teamed it was a wonderful design.... congrats on the Watercooler Wednesday win too.
Fabulous card for a guy, Mac! So creative & artistic--as always!
