Cute Card Thursday - Masculine

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Masculine'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation.

This was one of the awesome make-and-take classes from the Whimsy Retreat which has just been held in Florida. Fun times as always!

We used the new military collections design by Denise Lynn and Deb Davis for Whimsy Stamps.

This first card uses the Military Heroes stamp set. I used VersaFine CLAIR ink pads to stamp the image and sentiment and then left it to dry. Once dry, I stamped the Military Camo Background in Versamark Watermark ink and then heat embossed it with transparent embossing powder.

The second card uses the Military Family stamp set. The heart shaped flag was stamped all over the card and left to dry. The soldiers were then die cut from the front of the card using the coordinating Military Die set, along with another 2 soldiers from plain white cardstock. I then stacked them on top of each other to provide the shadowing effect. The sentiment was stamped from the same stamp set and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The last card uses the Military Family stamp set for the heart shaped flags and the Military Heroes stamp set for the sentiment. The background was created using the Star Dangle stencil with Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Moonstone.

I loved this class and the card was super quick and easy to make. I can see more of these cards appearing in the future!

We are sponsored this week by Bugaboo Stamps, a great prize as always! 

Hope you can join us!

Thanks for looking.
Happy crafting x
