MM157 - A serene moment....

Welcome to "Manly Monday"!  I've created a hopefully calming and loving sympathy card for my husband to send to his family in Australia on the death of a favourite Aunt.   So it's a bit of a twist on "Manly Monday" as the sender instead of the receiver.

I've used a 2-way mask technique to create the duck image and background swirl.  Can you see how??

I used:

• "Wetlands" stamp set (w-126695,c-126697)
• "Everything Eleanor" stamp set (w-131987,c-124164)
• Antique Brads (117273)
• Venetian Crochet Trim (134581)
• Going Places DSP stack (140581)
• Wink of Stella clear (141898)

Have a super week and thanks for starting it here!

MM101 - Birthday packaging

December is upon us and only 24 more days to get ready for Christmas!  With Christmas brings lots of gift giving so I'll be featuring a variety of packaging ideas throughout the month.

Today for "Manly Monday" I've created a birthday package!  To start I pulled together a bunch of items that I thought might work for a gift tag on my decorative bag.

And using a sample I liked on page 145 of the catalogue for reference, I love the result!

I used:

• @SoSocial stamp set
• The Open Sea stamp set
• Gold Soiree Specialty DSP
• Flashback DSP
• Under The Tree Specialty DSP
• Beach House washi tape
• Watercolour Wonder washi tape
• Baker's Twine
• Antique Brads
• Mini Metallic clothespins
• Wooden Elements

I hope you enjoyed my idea for masculine packaging today on "Manly Monday"!

Enjoy your week,

MM94 - For All Things is perfect for Bleach Blot technique....

Welcome to "Manly Monday" and the technique Bleach Blot!   You need a stamp set like For All Things that has stamps that lend well to collage stamping to do this technique.
