Happy WOYWW dear friends! This week, I thought I’d step outside of my girly comfort zone and create a card and envelope that’s fit for your favorite outdoorsman! You can easily create something similar using the products you have on hand! Enjoy the photos and the challenges!
Collage Card
Choose five stamps in a coordinating theme as the basis for your collage. Use colors that convey your mood – I chose vintage inks that conveyed my masculine, sea-faring theme. Use sponges to lightly dab and blend the background colors together.
Scenic Envelope
I created the envelope from a standard legal size #10 envelope, folded over to custom fit the card.
A cut-out of one of the stamped images serves as the envelope’s seal!

I’m a first time visitor from AIB and am loving your cards and creativity. I make cards occasionally myself and always like decorating the envelopes too. Your masculine collage looks fabulous and I’ve never thought of using stamps this way – great job!

I love the back of the envelope! I think I’d almost hate to open it, it’s so pretty on its own :).
Great card. I would love for you to come by and share this post on the Creative Corner Hop. The linky party starts on Monday and stays open all week.

The card and envelope have become really great, thank you for joining us at the creative stamp friends
Masculine cards are so much harder to come by (or create) than feminine cards. Thank you for sharing this with us over at NOBH!
This is such a lovely card, Ramona! It can be so hard to find cards for men. Thank you for sharing with the Hearth and Soul Link Party, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Community. Take care and have a lovely weekend!
