The MFT Design Team Creative Challenge is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative side using a specific theme, product, or technique. This month, we've challenged the design team to create cards, pages, and projects with a masculine theme.
Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for a list of all the designers who have a project to share with you today.
First I have a rather clean and simple card, at least for me! I used the LLD Accent It - Rock and Roll Die-namics to cut the star, guitar, and flames.
The border is cut with the Chevron Stripes Die-namics. I cut the Chevron border and the flames from light weight chipboard and embossed them with gold embossing powder. (You can see my tutorial on making your own chipboard embellishments here.)
I added Black Glossy Accents to the cover on the guitar and the sentiment is from LLD Document It - Rock On Stamp Set.
On the inside I used sentiments from the LLD Journal It - Playlist Stamp set and the star cutouts are created with the Die-namics Scattered Stars.
My second card used stamps from both the LLD Journal It - Playlist and the LLD Document It - Rock On Stamp Set. I distressed the edges of the card and added stitching in a heavy weight thread.
I stamped the player in black ink and the embossed it with clear embossing powder. The flames are cut from MFT Card Stock in Banana Split and the I sponged on Lemon Drop and Orange Fizz Inks.
The sentiment on the inside is from the Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set.
