Yesterday I shared 4 of my Flowerbug's Team manly card ideas for our July card swap. Today I have three more. I'm so proud of them; it's obvious they really did their best to make incredible swaps.
Today's first card was made by Candy. She used the Wildlife Wonder stamp set & Grassy Grove bundle seen here.
Her colors include Soft Suede & Mossy Meadow. Here are some tips on how she achieved this amazing card:
- Die-cut the tree & grass silhouette from White CS using the Grove dies. Trim to 5" X 3 3/4".
- Stamp the bear on the background White layer (51/4" X 4")
- Stamp the grass image on the bottom of the die-cut.
- Use the trio of trees image to stamp all over the 'foiliage' area of the die-cut using Mossy Meadow ink, stamping 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of ink.
- Use a blending brush to add more green as needed.
- Sponge color to the edges of all layers.
- Distress the edges with the side of your scissors.
- Use a Soft Suede Blends marker to color the trunks.
- Adhere the die-cut over the bear image. Add to the card base.
- Stamp & add the greeting layer.
Amazing, right?!! So proud of you Candy!
Next is another incredibly detailed card made by Roxann. She used the Beauty of Friendship stamp set seen here.
I love her corner details but the layer of vellum that softens her stamped trees background is amazing! It gives an ethereal or foggy feel to the scene. She used Mossy Meadow with Early Espresso ink & card stock.
I love the triple tag detail on her greeting. I believe that is from the Mini Pocket Envelope dies. Such a unique & special card.
Lastly for today is a pretty scenic card made by Deloris. She used the Grassy Grove bundle seen here.
Her colors include Old Olive, Soft Suede, White and a bit of blue for her sky. I believe she used Blending Brushes for that soft background.
Here's what's included in the Grassy Grove bundle.
There are a lot of die-cuts here; in fact everything on the front is a die-cut! The ground, trees & deer are all from the Grove dies. The greeting is from Peaceful Moments and that die is from the All That dies.
All are incredible cards for the men in our lives and I couldn't be prouder of them!
Stay tuned for more masculine card ideas tomorrow and all this week!
