This past week was Betsy's turn to host Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday. She challenged us to create a one-layer effect combining stenciling and masking. Here's my creation that also fills the void of masculine birthday cards.
I used Tag Sale: Quilted to make my own stencil and ink blended Hawaiian Shores. Splits: Happy Birthday design was stamped in Enchanted Evening and the sentiment in Americana. To keep it one-layer and on the masculine side, I added three white Nuvo Crystal Drops at the top of the tag. It really was a pretty quick and simple card and can see this in many other color combinations. Thanks, Betsy, for the inspiration and challenge!

Oops, I just realized I failed to mask on my first card to quickly raced off to my stamp room to recreate the above card using the same colors. Only difference is I masked using a Splits: Happy Birthday die-cut when inking my homemade stencil. Then I stamped the design and sentiment. Added three Americana dots using Harvest Berries and covered those with glossy accents. Here's what this one looks like.

Kathy, Quilted Tag is one of my favorites...but I have several tag favorites...anyway, your card is really pretty...your stencil choice was perfect! Lovely card, Kathy
Well, now you have two masculine cards instead of one! Both look great!
Totally awesome masculine card, Kathy! Love it!
PS: Thanks for commenting on my card~I hope you get the "Nesting" stamp set, this was only the second card I've made with it and really need some ideas from you :o)
These are great, Kathy! I really love how the 2 together show what a neat effect it is to stamp in the masked space, although the first card is lovely, too!
