Masculine Card

Hello, Crafters,

Here I am again with another masculine card; it is simple in design and can be used for any occasion.

I used Stampin' Up "Lovely as a Tree" for the image and used a cotton swab to dry brush on some color with brown and green inks. The die cut squares are from Sizzix Stitched Squares and Sue Wilson Madison Square. I used two different square dies because there seems to be too much distance between the edges in nested die sets (does that make sense?) In other words, the frame for the smaller die cut is much larger that the cut that is being framed, and takes up too much real estate on the card. That is why I used two different square sets; the frame is much smaller and more suited to the size of the card.

The green background is embossed with a Darice Basket Weave EF; the card is finished with a flat rustic beige ribbon knot.


I am entering this card in the following challenges ending:

Romans 10:9-10
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.  NLT

Acts 13:38-39
"Brothers, listen! We are here to proclaim that through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is declared right with God--something the law of Moses could never do."  NLT

  6. Love the detail of the die you used to cut out the image! It adds a great visual element. The basket weave is a great backdrop for this image and adds great texture.
