One for the Boys

Today I would like to show you a male card that I made. There are many wonderful images at Make it Crafty that can be used for making male cards. I think we all struggle after working with the lovely female images adding flowers, ribbons, pearls and such so when it comes to a male card they always look so bare. 

There are many ways to make a male card stand out and be just as handsome as the female cards.

For this card I used Gnomer Peter.

I created the card using browns, yellows, oranges and greens. A perfect color combination for a male card.

Here are a few ideas that can be used for male cards

• Twine - so many colors available but if only white is available it can be colored to any color with inks
• Buttons - all shapes and sizes add a little bit of decoration
• Pop dots - adds dimension and gives depth to the creation
• Brads - A great embellishment, use on male cards as pearls are used on female cards
• Frantage - Using white or an aged copper gives a distressed look
• Inks - adding inks to the edges of the papers gives an aged look
• Distressing - roughing up the edges is a great idea

There are many more embellishments and techniques that can be used to create a male card. I hope that I have given you some inspiration to give it a go.
