CIU #224 - Mascline Cards

 


Hello Friday and welcome to the weekend.  Today's project share is my design team project for the Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for challenge #224 is Masculine Cards and the sponsor is Taylored Expressions.

I wanted to do something a little outside of my normal and I had recently purchased the woodgrain  tree ring stencil so I went to their web side for some inspiration.  The only struggle for me is that I don't have very many ink colors just a few distress and oxide inks that I usually pick up on clearance.  I finally settled on vintage photo, I went to my Christmas dies and used one my unbranded tree dies and cut the bear using my SLICE machine (my all time favorite portable die cutting machine).  Finished the card by adding a few black gems and a stamped sentiment.  I really like the end result of the card, there are just a few minor changes that I will make  the next time I use the stencil.

Please visit the Cut it Up challenge blog, create and share your masculine themed project for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate from our sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday, May 5, 2021 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, continue to be safe and enjoy your weekend.
