I chose Vintage for my theme for this months Make it Masculine card series over on YouTube and I made one card!

My self inflicted challenge is to make one masculine card a month but until this month I had managed two each time – but this time I decided to just make the one!
It was actually fun to do a bit of a mixed media type card and get a bit grungy with my vintage theme and chose Paperartsy clock stamps I’ve had for ages and rarely used.

After stamping and inking the background I then played with the Seth Apter baked textures embossing powder both to add to stamping and then I did little puddles on the background to really play with the texture these fab powders give.

I then added twine and created a lovely little vintage cluster for the bottom section of the card using both stamped images and the vintage ephemera bits I have in a book.

I then added the die cut sentiment on the top.
Inside I added an inked panel of paper with a bit of stamping on it and then called it done!
What do you think? A fun but grungy vintage themed card for a male! I think I did well with this one. Five months done – seven to go!
Happy crafting!

Ooh that’s very grungy – I really like it!
