Hang in There for Male
Hi, everyone! Kelli here today with a masculine card to share with you. Normally all the ‘Hang in There’ type cards are for females so I thought it would be fun to make one for a male.
All the stamping is from the Tiddly Inks – Ricky Hanging Around stamp set. There’s also a girl version of this set called Hang in There. I stamped the main image and the birds in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It Blending Paper and colored everything with Copics:
Hair and Belt – E29, E27, E25, E23
Skin – E13, E53, E51, E50
Shirt – B26, B24, B23, B21
Shorts – C6, C4, C3
Branch – E59, E57, E55, E27, E25
Leaves – YG25, YG23
Birds – YR18, YR15, YR12, Y35, Y15, Y11
Airbrushed Background – B24
I masked off the image and airbrushed the blue background with the Copic Airbrush System. The little clouds were die cut using the Paper Smooches – Spectrum die set. I airbrushed with them as a mask and then I took them off and airbrushed over them a little so that they weren’t bright white.
All the patterned paper is from the Doodlebug – Kraft in Color (Color) 6×6 paper pad. I cut out the green background and the sentiment banner using the Avery Elle – Dotted die set.
I used a border punch from my stash to punch the orange piece and then tied some CraftKin – Lemonade baker’s twine around it with a plain knot.
All the layers are adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.
Generally with most masculine cards I try to keep them pretty simple so I didn’t add much else. I couldn’t help myself though so I did add a tiny bit of sparkle to the birds with the Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear. Then I finished everything off with some white gel pen stitch lines.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day! 🙂
