Friends of Speedy TV Challenge 89 - Masculine Card

Another new week, another FOSTV challenge and this week I know some of you will be challenged as this week we are making Masculine cards.  Marks Finest Papers have some nice masculine stamps and I used some fishing related sets for my card.

The main panel uses Gelatos and an image from the set called Get Reel.  On the base card I used the sets called Oh Crab and On The Fly.

Please join in our challenge and have a great week.

FOSTV - Father's Day

Father's Day is a sad occasion for me because I lost my Dad when I was only 19 and my Father-in-Law about 7 years ago.  However as I sell cards at work I have made a couple of Father's Day cards using Marks Finest Papers stamps.

The first one uses sketch SC323 and an image from the set Big Boys Toys plus an embossing folder to add a bit of a texture to the papers, which I then sanded.

I used Copics to colour the image.

The second card uses the Sentimental Sundays sketch and an image from the set being offered as a prize to one lucky participant who joins in the fun at this week's FOSTV challenge.  This is a simple card but shows how easy it is to make a card with these masculine images.  The set is called Get Reel and my card just uses some patterned paper as a background.  The flags and buttons finish it off!

I am also entering this card in the Pan Pastels challenge for a Father's Day card.

Mark's Finest Papers

 As you can see I got out my brayer for these cards.  Once again they are simple layouts but I think you will agree the stamps don't need fancy layouts to work

I added some framing elements to this one.
