I decided to make a feminine and masculine card using the same exact papers. I had fun doing this project and it was a bit of a challenge for me. if you scroll to the end, you will find step by step instructions for each card.
The two sheets of paper were from the FabScraps Wild At Heart collection -
Wild Tunes 2 and
Wild Ride 2. At first glace these papers cater to the masculine side of life. With a little creativity and a boarder punch, its easy to add a delicate feel.
The masculine card uses Wild Ride 2 as the base for the card.
I coated the Wil;d At Heart chipboard piece with
Molten Metal Enamelz from Shimmerz. This is such a cool product. When melted, it looks just like, well, metal. Perfect for a masculine rugged look.
I grabbed this little bubblewrap trick from
Shona Keehn, She works magic with bubble wrap and I love how rugged it looks so I thought I would try it myself. Thanks Shona.
For the feminine card, I reversed the papers and used Wild Tunes 2 as the base of the card. The beautiful blue/teal work well for a feminine card. Add a touch of lace and some pink and it all comes together.
The little pink flowers are rolled from paper using
Rolled Rose Die die from La La Land.
The leaves were punched from EK Success large leaf punch. I crumpled the leaves and then ran an ikn pad over the crumpled edges.
