Masculine cards are always a struggle. Luckily, I had purchased Game On from Stamping Bella before it became unavailable. I think this is a great image for a masculine card.
I colored the image using my Copic markers. I have listed the markers I used at the bottom of my post.
I used one of my “go to” dies, Stitched Squares by Lawn Fawn. I also used the same dies to cut out my patterned paper to mount my image on.
I wanted something on the dark blue panel, but nothing over powering. I used one of the Stitched Border dies also from Lawn Fawn down the sides of the panel.
I then cut some flags using Avery Elle’s Dotted Elle-ments die. My paper is from My Favorite Things, Birthday Blow Out.
My sentiment is from Stamping Bella, The Bunny Wobble & The Peony. I used Gina K’s Detail Black. To finish my card, I created my dots using Nuvo Oyster Gray Crystal Drops. I just love those drops and there are so many colors to choose from!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting!

That really is a great image for a male card, and good for all attraction. I like how you have managed to sneak a bit of extra colour and pattern in there with the pennant shapes too! Super card!

Thanks Gillian! I needed some brighter color and thought that paper tied in pretty well.

Excellent male card and would suit a number of occasions and really fun too! I have just got these Lawn Fawn square dies today, believe it or not, so hopefully tomorrow, I shall be trying to inspire another male creation using them! Have you seen Lily Of The Valley stamps and digi images? They have good stamping images for all ages, just like this, thought you might like to look at them, here’s the link incase you haven’t seen them before-http://liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Boys_Men.html 🙂

I had to stop to really study this card. the fine details you put into your coloring is amazing. Here is a little monster on one of the magazine covers to which you added shading effects. Truly talented.
