It's Monday and time for another new challenge at Muse!
With only a week left until Father's Day I though I would make one more card, this one is for my husband. The general handy man for all things around the house! I have really enjoyed making masculine cards using the Altenew Best Dad stamps and dies. I started off my creating my background by smooshing some Fossilized Amber and a touch of Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink onto a craft mat. Then I spritzed water on to the mat and smooshed a piece of watercolour paper into the mixture. I dried it with a heat gun and then tapped the panel selectively back into the ink and dried it once again. I finished off by flicking some clean water onto the panel and absorbing it with a paper towel and then let it dry completely before adding my sentiment.
Next step was to stamp, die cut and colour all my images--a tool bow, a hammer, a tape measure and some keys on a caribeaner. The images were stamped with Copic friendly ink and then coloured with Copic markers. I cut a slit in the toolbox so that I could put the tool into the box, once I arranged then I put a piece of foam tape on the back of the box to hold everything in place and to give a bit of dimension.
I really hope to see you play along with us at Muse this week and maybe be inspired to create a masculine card!

Cool, fun and wonderfully masculine, Tracey ... love how you've added the supplementary sentiments to the tools and box! Hugs, Anita :)
I loved this card as soon as I saw it at Muse - I am useless at backgrounds so yours really popped out at me.
My attempts were pathetic (and binned), but now I've read how you made yours, I might be willing to give it another go. :-)
Thanks for the inspiration.
