Guy Greetings Masculine Vintage Style Worlds Greatest Husband Card Stampin Up! UK

Today I have another masculine card for you. It is another card made using the Guy Greetings stamp set. I have left the sentiment simple, so you can decide which of the sentiments in this Stamp Set, is appropriate for your card or scrapbook page.

If you are wondering if the background is a single stamp? The answer is no. The background is stamped using a random pattern created with a mixture of all the sentiments in the stamp set.

I started by stamping the p outside edge and then randomly using stamps the work from that outside border, and working in towards the centre .

I used Sahara Sand Ink Pad onto Very Vanilla cardstock for a subtle tone on tone background.

I then stamped the main stamps onto Very Vanilla Cardstock using Night of Navy Ink Pad & fussy cut them out with my paper snips. The anchor was stamped directly into one corner of the panel., and then mat onto a Night of Navy Card Base

The Boxer was stamped using Archival Basic Black Ink Pad and coloured using my Aquapainter for a watercolour effect. This element was fussy cut out and mounted onto the card base .
