I find when I am looking at a stamp set I try to see if it could be used for both male and female cards... If you swap the colours around and use part of the stamp you will be surprised with what you may come up with....
Lovely as a Tree... so easy to make this one into a male card....
Although this one of these stamp sets are retired (Extreme Elements ... this is one I just can not get rid of... I LOVE IT!!!!) You can substitute your stamp set for another that may have some shapes etc in them like Circle Circus... the technique that is used in these cards is resist embossing.... Stamp all your coloured images first... then using VersaMark stamp on top of your images a really solid stamp.. (the splash from Extreem Elements) the clear emboss.... then taking your Brayer roll over several times with some dark ink... Rip the edges and you have a VERY VERY cool effect!!! Two toned paper..... its very MANLY!!! Gerr!!!
A Ship is always a great older gentleman's card!!! How sophisticated does this one look???? And it is so simple... Stamp your greeting then Create some texture with an embossing folder... Wrap some ribbon around and stamp the image in StayzOn... dauber the edges and back with dark card stock.. It's so EASY!!!!
Here4 are some other lovely cards that were created for a class... cant remember which one.. but they are nice too...
