I realised at the weekend I still hadn’t done my August Make it Masculine card so grabbed the Lighthouse die set I bought a little while ago and hadn’t used and decided to go with the nautical theme!
Of course like the others in this series I did a video showing this card come together!

I really love the final card and the addition of the tag as I was putting it together came as a nice surprise but I think was exactly what was needed.

I love the combo of that die cut background, the cute lighthouse and then the Kingston Crafts summer collection paper with the waves to make the card base.
Was also good to have the extra texture from the waxed thread too.

Definitely a different feel from the last Make it Masculine with all the leaves and the mixed media feel … but I think it works well!

And so now that’s 8 months done on my self inflicted challenge of making at least one masculine themed card a month! No idea what the theme for next month will be but hopefully I can come up with something! Ideas of course always welcomed!
Happy crafting!
