WWC280 - Kath's Challenge: Anything Goes with a Masculine Twist



Hello and welcome.   We are making "masculine" cards this week at The Watercooler Wednesday and this is my design team card.  I was in need of some masculine get well cards and came up with this idea.  
I started by stamp block inking, but I used a minimal amount of water to get this speckled look.  I made a similar background (same ink color but more water here).  I trimmed the panel down and then inked the edges with the same ink as the background to give the panel a bit more definition.  I added a sentiment and then stamped, Copic colored and die cut the plant and snail and attached with foam tape.  I like how the card turned out.
Supplies Used:
Altenew Garden Grow
Papertrey Get Well Soon Sentiemnt
acrylic block to stamp the background
Altenew Sand Dunes Crisp Die Ink for background and edges
Copic Markers
Neenah cardstock
Foam tape

I am playing along at:

    That's an interesting way to create a background. I've never tried that before. (I followed your link to the other card - also stunning!)

    I like the ink color you chose. It looks like dirt that spilled when the plant was re-potted. The snail is an adorable touch!
