Hi Everyone, my mid month DT make for December for the We Love Stamping Challenge. The theme this month is "I love…..’ whatever you love creating (image/occasion/design etc)."
I am one of those strange crafters who loves making cards for men. Well I have 4 brothers and many other men in the family, I have to like it or they wouldn't get cards! So my card reflects this today.
A beer bottle was stamped and, I used a mask to stamp the second. I used water to drag the ink over the bottle, as seen in a video recently, to make it look like it was water coloured! The sentiment was stamped and embossed in gold. I also added a few tiny dots to the bottle label. I then stamped the beer glasses using the same water technique, they were added to the corner.
A die cut of holly was coloured in DI's and added to the card. I then decided to add more holly by placing a piece of shaped holly paper to the corner. A few gems for the berries were also added.
There are always fabulous prizes, why don't you join us at the I LOVE...
Challenge? It lasts all December, the only criteria is, that stamping must be to the fore. Simple isn't it.

Hi Faith, Its good you enjoy 'man cards', so many don't. This is perfect for someone who loves a tipple:))
I don't think I could pinpoint one thing I love to create, maybe the books I used to make, I got so much pleasure from those.xx
Very cool card Faith. I have 2 brother, 5 brother-in-laws and 3 sons to make for so, like you said, you have to like making them lol. Great job on this one!!
What a totally fun card with a masculine feel to it. I hope you also celebrate the season. Christmas wishes to you and yours. Hugs
Great masculine card! I tend to shy away from masculine cards like many other crafters too, but you always rock them! This one is awesome!
Fabulous male card!
Merry Christmas;-))m
Great card for a guy - or a gal too for that matter. Sometimes a beer is pretty tasty. Cute card.

Fabulous masculine card, Faith. I always struggle to make more masculine cards.
What a great masculine card Faith - I enjoy making masculine cards too, and a lot of the men in my extended family enjoy fishing, so that helps!

What a fun card, Faith. I would LOVE to come play along in this fun challenge, but I think it may be discouraged; as I live in the US and I know that shipping prizes is very expensive. I do love all the wonderful inspiration from the talented DT. Thanks for sharing your art. It's always a blessing.

How I envy people who can come up with designs for men and this card is a great design. Love the water dragging technique, it looks amazing.
