Masculine Christmas Card

 I have been using challenges to get a ample number of Christmas cards made so I am ready in December for mailing.

This week the challenge at 52 Christmas Throwdown is a Masculine Christmas card.  

The other day I saw this card pass by on Facebook - no idea where I saw it but the idea stayed in my mind and I wanted to try and create it.  I think it makes a great masculine card.

The card gave me the fits.  I first used two shades of blue oxide to add some color to the background.  After this was dry, I started stamping the different snowflakes (it is amazing how many different styles, shapes and sizes of snowflakes you have in your supplies).  I think I managed to get black ink on every panel I stamped.  Black ink where it was not supposed to be.  The card I saw had the black stripes on both sides of the snowflake panel.  I taped my card down and used my T ruler to get the sentiment straight.  When I took the tape off, I tore off a chunk of the striped paper thus we slide the panel over.  Thank goodness I had put a good chunk of striped paper on each side.  

For all the problems this card gave to me, I really like it.  I have several more stamped pieces and I hope I am able to work around the extra black ink - I guess - if all else fails - add some black splatter.

Thank for stopping by.
