In 2012, MFT is working harder than ever to inspire you, and we have come up with something we think you'll really enjoy. Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a new monthly feature, where we challenge our design team to explore their creative side using a specific theme, product or technique.
This month's Creative Challenge will be to make a masculine card. I think many of us, including me, struggle when we know we need a male card.
When I want to make a masculine card I think about the stamp image and colors first. For this card I am using MFT's at the Movies Die-namic and Stamp Set and papers from My Mind's Eye Kraft Funday Everyday Fun 6 x 6 paper pad. Since I am going with a movie theme, I kept my colors kraft and black, with the idea of a black and white movie.
I used the a sentiment from the stamp set and the large film strip die. In the corner I added the film reel and a Tim Holz wheel embellishment.
I added another one of the dies and sentiments from the set in the corner, along with the arrow stamp. I added machine stitching and twine.
On the inside I added another sentiment from the stamp set and a film strip using the Mini Film Strip Die-namic.
