TCM June 2013 Blog Hop: Masculine

Welcome to The Craft's Meow's June Blog Hop. Our theme this month is Masculine. If you came from Lin Brandyberry, then you're at the right spot. Please check the TCM blog for the complete list.

I used my Let's Face It stamp set again for today's card.  I love these vintage and trendy elements of this set to create your own "man."  I stamped the different parts to coordinate with the scrap ribbons I used. Because the majority of the card elements are neutral (Kraft, brown, cream), I was able to add the different colored ribbons and they all still work together well.

I inked the edges of the panels to enhance the vintage feel. The white stitches from SRM Stickers was just the perfect addition to the dark brown background. The papers are October Afternoon.

I made a feminine version of this card that you can find HERE. This is the sketch I used for both cards. If you were inspired to use it, feel free to share the link in the comments so I can see. :)
One commenter will get a stamp set of their choice. Deadline to be eligible for prize is 11:59 EST, Thursday June 9th. Check the TCM blog for more detailed info.  Your next stop is Sharri Seffens. Happy hopping!
