Man cards! We all say the same - they don’t go for buttons and bows.
So I decided to use my
most favourite Nestabilities ever, thus far, Fleur De Lis Squares
Let’s get started,
using Grand Nesties Squares I cut out 2 large squares in black and 2 smaller squares in
white.
The white ones I
stamped with a large forest stamp from my own stash, but you can use any branch or tree stamp to
create a scene.
I then attached them to the 2 black cards forming a border
around each, which I then off set and glued together.
The large Fleur De Lis
Square I cut out 3 times in black card then cut out the second largest twice in
white.
I stamped one of the whites
with my favourite birthday sentiment and layered onto one of the larger black die cuts.
I cut the two
remaining black Fleur De Lis in half to make each corner more ornate.
On a precut shaped white card base I used the left over pieces of black and white
Fleur De Lis to decorate the corners.
Quick, simple and
quite masculine?
Let us know what you
think and if you have any of your own ‘Man Card’ solutions.

Lovely and striking B&W creation. I find bold geometric designs work well for masculine cards... as my husband often tells me, not all men fish and like football. The man has a point!
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria,
DeleteGlad you liked the card and your husband is right.
There isn't too much you can do with 'golf balls' either!
Many thanks, Linda
I like this. Could also work well as a Halloween card,
ReplyDeleteHi Lucretia,
DeleteThanks for your comments. I see where your coming from! It could do with a few bats for Halloween?
Thanks again, Linda
