Meet today's card.
A masculine card with a simple CAS design.
I needed a card for my husband's birthday. He is a huge music fan and loves attending concerts. This image from IO works so perfectly for a masculine card and for anyone who loves concert going.
So onto my card.
I began by pulling out my Rectangle Mask from A Colorful Life Designs. These masks have pretty much found a permanent spot on my desk and are so great for creating cards with a border. It sure saves time and I don't have to fuss around with my Post it Tape.
I placed the mask over my white card front and started sponging on some DOX inks being sure to keep the colour just to the left side. I used a small sponge dabber to apply the ink and chose colours that complimented each other. When I was happy with the coverage, I added some details using the Grunge Dots stencil and more DOX inks.
Next, I place the piece inside my Misti and add more details by stamping some Graffiti along the left edge. I stamped the image by inking with black Memento then clear heat embossed to help make it pop against the colourful background.
I added the sentiment, removed the mask and mounted it onto some orange cardstock then onto a plain white card.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

This is such a strong image Karen and the bright stencilled background makes a bold contrast to the image. A fabulous card for your husband especially as he is a music fan. I bet he absolutely loved this. x
Wonderful card.
Wonderful - love your background.
Are the masks in plastic? Do they have "sticky" backs or basically stencils?
This is a fabulous card - great image, great design and brilliant background. It's so striking.
