I don't know about you, but i have the most difficulty when making a Masculine card. Do you?
This past Monday I had a customer of mine ask for 8 masculine cards with a wine theme on the front for Thank You cards. She said she would like burgundy. However, I didn't have burgundy and didn't have anything to match with it. Nor did I have a wine stamp. So off to my favorite LSS I went. (LSS means Local Scrap Book Store) You guessed it. SCRAP-A-DOODLE-DOO. I new they had this stamp in as I have been eyeing it. So I stopped by there on Tuesday and bought it. It is by Inkadinkadoo and is so cute. :) At first I stamped the image with my momento black ink and realized that the ink is to bold. It doesn't look like a sketch with how dark the black was. So a quick fix and a tip for you. :) I stamped the image off on my scrap paper first then stamped it on my actual paper that I using and it made the black a softer black. That I could work with. :) Then next tried coloring the image with my copics, but it didn't look right. I didn't like the boldness of the color. So I pulled out my q-tips and my chalks and colored the images that way. It gave it a softer look and looks much better with the sketchy look.
Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
