My first entry is a male card. I'm trying not to "get stuck" in a certain type of style or design. That's quite tricky, isn't it? I have a tendency to do square or rectangle shaped cards and add stitching, as I did for this card, but apart from that I tried to do something not so typically me, so I used a good, old typewriter image, suing a stamp from Prima. Also, I tried not to make things too even and straight, but rather a bit distressed and uneven. But from there I was a bit lost... How to proceed? What do other crafters use for embellishments? Couldn't come up with any new ideas, so I added a kraft ticket with sentiment (love those!), letter stickers (love those too) and some pearls. Kind of vintage, kind of male and I think (hope?) not so typically me!This card is for these challenges:
1) Inkspirational - #9 Sketch
2) Anything Goes Challenge - #87 Make It Manly
3) Craft Room Challenge - Something For A Man

This is wonderful Pia. I love that image and the colours and detailing are fabulous.
I have never thought of your cards as being the same, in fact I think you always make a really good variety of card types and designs.

GREAT male card, it needed nothing else, the main focus to me was the old fashioned typewriter, the paper and ticket are just perfect as are the square sentiments....Your cards are never the same, hey square cards are great and so versatile to use. Don't stop, your cards are just what I would love to receive in the mail...hugs, annie
