Hello everyone, I am on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today with a masculine card. We all need to create masculine cards and the abstract Mountain Stencils helps create easy backdrop. The new Nested Rectangles: Diagonal Stitch is perfect to give the elegant touch to our creations.

To start, I sponged inks (Seaside, Storm, Stargazer, Mimosa, Candy Violet, Waterfall, Paradise) through the Mountain Sencil but added color only to the mountain part. Sponge, waterfall and Lemon whip for the sky part using the 1" Blending Brushes, for a soft look.

Next, I die-cut the grassy slopes and grass using the Trees dies. Add color to the slopes using Sage ink. Die-cut the twigs from white cardstock using Wildflower Bouquet dies. Sponge Waterfall, Lemon Whip and Mimosa inks lightly onto the top part.

For the gifts, I used the Holiday Bicycle stamps, added color using inks (Sunshine, Grassy Knoll, Mimosa, Waterfall) through the stencils and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Die-cut the mountain scene using the the mid size die from the Nested Rectangles: Diagonal Stitch die, die-cut another piece using the 2nd largest die, sponge Waterfall ink moving from center towards the edge. This way we only get a slight tint of the color. Finally, die-cut one more layer using the biggest die to adhere to the cardbase.

Assemble the card as per the photo. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Here For You Sentiments stamp set using Detail Black ink, die-cut using the co-ordnating die. I adhered to an orange card, slightly off-set. I love adding another color behind my sentiments to pop them up.

Hope you got an idea for masculine card. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day!
