Masculine Birthday Card

February 5, 2018 By Nancee56

With January comes some of those “dreaded” masculine birthday cards. I don’t seem to have a problem creating a child’s birthday card, or one for a female, but those masculine birthday cards seem to sometimes stump my creativity.

I have been looking and purchasing more and more digital stamps. Polkadoodles is one of those stamp companies that has such a large variety of stamps and that is where I found Electrician, Plumber, Mechanic, Tradesman, Repair Man, DIY. What a versatile stamp! I colored him up using my Copic markers, the colors I have listed at the bottom of my post.

For the “silver”, I added some dots of silver pen from Atyou Spica. I just discovered these pens and love them. It’s like coloring in small specks of glitter. I thought it was perfect for the “tools”.

I layered him up on some different papers from my stash. I stamped my sentiment and then added some Copper Penny Nuvo drops to finish my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting!

Absolutely brilliant Nancee! Love the colouring – and my favourite bit are his dungarees. Aww, those are so ‘real’.

You are such a wonderful colourist. Well done, you clever thing! ~ Cobs. xxx
