So here we go with another round of masculine cards on the
oh-so-fun LIM challenge blogspot. My husband is a golf fanatic! In fact, what's he doing on this blustery weekend afternoon - watching a tourney on tv. Conditions aren't great for play, and as we currently live on a course, he can afford to be picky. I could also give this card over to his dad who plays about 250 rounds a year during retirement. In my house, this is definitely a guy's card!
Unknown cardstock in cream. StazOn black ink. CTMH "Tee Time" Stamps* Natural colored cording. I had thought to add the ball hanging from the cording, but decided "less is more."
*This set of acrylic stamps has gotten quite sticky. After inking them up they actually would stick to the cardstock, tearing it a bit. Hence the sort of blotchy effect was the best I could achieve. What to do? Sand them with some fine grit sandpaper? Hmmm...? Anyone else have this issue with acrylic stamps? Set is probably only 2 years old and stored away from light.
My husband's 12 y.o. son is loving Tae Kwon Do. At his next belt test he will be going for a green belt so I thought this would be great. Interior of the card is handwritten, "Focus! Confidence!" This is what the kids shout out before breaking a board to complete the test. I wanted the paper strip and knot to resemble the belts of his uniform.
White cardstock and Bazzill Basics cardstock in green. Alphabet stamps from PSX: Celtic.
Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate all comments and critiques.

Very clever idea to create a green belt for the tae kwon do card! Also, I like that you cut out and propped the golf bag up on dimensional adhesives.
Woo Hoo - two really great guy cards

Fabulous golf card, very subtle colouring around the edges and great placement of both the golf bag and the sentiment:-)
Both great cards!! Love how you made the strip with a knot look like ribbon! As for your stamps, try washing them in warm soapy water then let them air die. Sometimes that helps.
Brilliant masculine card. I wash my stamps in warm soapy water and then leave to air dry. Amazing the difference it makes. Jo x

Both great cards. Love the word golf on the first one - it's a great shape and the 'belt' on the second is very cleverly done.
Those are super cards!
