I’d Rather be at the Tiki Bar…

Hi everyone…do you find guy cards hard to make? I do…no glitter or pink-oh no!!!!! I find that if you stick to non busy designs-and even if you just use card stock for your design, that it lends to a more masculine look…adding inking for definition and layers for texture are your best bet…I used all Basis card stock for this design(it’s on SALE right now at the CutCardStock store)…with the exception of a little Neenah Desert Storm for the beach. Love how it turned out…Thanks for stopping by… Lee-Ann Kubinec 🙂

 TUTORIAL

 -First choose your dies…mine are all from Jaded Blossom…I LOVE to lay them all out with the sentiment to choose my card layout

-Next choose your paper…mine is all Basis card stock from CutCardStock.com…with the exception of the Neenah Desert Storm that I used for the beach(also from CutCardStock.com)

-All pieces are inked…I like to ink on top of a craft sheet to save the mess…then I glued down my sky, waves, beach and sun to my card base…

-I then add the rest of my die cuts and add glossy accents to my glasses to add a little sparkle and dimension…I’m all done…
