Good morning, Steph here. Today I'm going to show you how I created a card for the men in your life. We love to create, but it seems a little harder for us to create a masculine card.

Clearsnap Supplies:
Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink Blackbird
Jumbo Rollagraph Wheel Marbling
Smooch Inks Siren, Snickerdoodle, Illuminate, Pool, Azure
Banner Wishes
Designer-Foils Seaport, Lucky Penny
Smooch Glitz - Mystified
Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Ink - Denim
Stephanie Barnard Ink - Artichoke, Blueberry


Other Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Stamps: Woodware Clear Stamps
Dies: Spellbinders





I first stamped the image with Blackbird ink, then put it aside to dry. Using the Rollagraph Wheel with Artichoke Ink, I inked across my card. Afer cleaning the wheel, I then inked across the card with Blueberry Ink.





I die cut the stamped image into a circle, then matted it with a larger black circle. Using Smooch Inks, I "painted" Illuminate on the sails, Siren on the flags, then Snickerdoodle on the ship's hull. I used Pool and Azure Smooch Inks for the water, then added Smooch Glitz on top.





To complete the card, I used "Good Luck" from Banner Wishes Design Adhesives. Seaport was used to cover the words and Lucky Penny created the Banner. To cover any missed sections, I placed Seaport over the entire banner and rubbed again. After cutting out the banner, I matted it with black cardstock and adhered it to the card with foam adhesives.


Thanks for stopping by today.
