Hello! Today's Paper Girls Challenge is all about Masculine Birthday cards and projects. Not surprising to many, making masculine cards is sometimes a challenge. Since I have two little girls, a TON of my paper and embellishments are pretty girly. For this challenge, I wanted to challenge myself by NOT using patterned paper, and instead use a few things that would imply masculinity, without be overtly obvious. My card today I think was a good mix of color and small details that create a pretty neat project.
I started with a simple kraft cardstock background and crackled, colored cardstock. I have had the
Tim Holtz Soda Bottle Blueprint Rubber Stamp (got on clearance at Hobby Lobby) for about a year now, and this was the perfect time to start using it. I used a
Memento Dew Drop in Nautical Blue for the ink, then colored the star with a
silver colored pencil. The last few details were a Stampin Up stamp from a long time ago with some silver embossing powder, a few enamel shapes and a touch of
Wink of Stella glitter pen in a few areas.

kraft cardstock (Neenah cardstock), blue cardstock (
Tim Holtz Distress Core'dinations),
Tim Holtz Soda Bottle Blueprint Rubber Stamp,
Memento Dew Drop (Nautical Blue),
