Getting In Touch With My Masculine Side

Sunday, April 10, 2011

Both my uncle and my brother have a birthday in the beginning of May.  I was going through my stash of cards to see if I had anything already made that would be appropriate for either of them.  I showed a few to Ryan to which he replied, "No way."   

I used my new Postmarks set to make this card for my brother, Tom. 



My uncle is a hunter, so I pulled out a long forgotten sticker from my stash.  Mixed it with some manly texture, perfect for him!


OK, now back to flowers, butterflies, and ribbon!

    Oh wow, these are both awesomely suited for a guy. The varied shades of brown keep it manly but still interesting. I love that deer head. How perfect you had it in your stash!

    Love both of these!
    Inspiration for how to use Postmarks...
    of which I'm still intimidated by.
    And love-of-my-life-man-that-I-married would die over the deer card!
    Both are awesome!

    Both cards turned out great. I'm trying to come up with some masculine cards too. I sure could use the sets from this months release...haha.

    Oh, my. These are fabulous. I especially like the first card and might have to borrow the design in the future for my brother. His name is also Tom.
