A Man's World - June Diva Dare
Welcome to June's Diva Dare! As the weather heats up, dads and grads and outdoor fun are foremost in our minds, so our June Dare is entitled A Man's World.
This month we're daring you to create a stamped card or project with a masculine theme. It doesn't have to be a Father's Day card, just something masculine. However, if you need to get one done, we're here to help wink, wink. If just reading the theme gives you a creative block, take a deep breath and think clean lines, few embellishments, rugged or distressed edges and muted or earthy colors. Replace bling with wood or metal embellishments, and replace ribbon with twine, rope or twill and you'll be surprised how quickly a masculine card will come together!
I paired the newly released Wonderful Marvelous with some striped paper that had masculine colours, and then added a scatter of stars using the Starry Die. The banner was fussy cut and paper pieced as were the flags. A touch of silver twine, a button and some black half pearls added some dimension. Didn't realize how carried away I got making this card, so checked with hubby and he said it was okay for a masculine card. Phew! Squeaked by on this one {grin}. Mind you, he is married to a card maker and use to my version of masculine creations!
Two ways to win prizes for double the fun!
Winners will be announced on June 26, 2014.
