A “her card” made into a “his card”

Happy Friday!

To finish off our “his and her” card week, I decided to take a “her” card I did for the 2012 catalog and turn it into a “his” card.

First up, here is the feminine card. I colored and popped up the butterfly in the collage image.

For the masculine version, I wanted to use the same collage stamp. However, the butterfly looked too feminine. So what did I do? I covered it! I just added a bold clock image and instantly changed the look completely. Just another way to get more from one stamp…

   [...] know I enjoy finding ways to get more out of the products I have. Two of the cards I shared on the Hero Arts blog last week are good examples of getting more from a stamp. So… I took THIS butterfly collage [...]

   I’ve really enjoyed the ‘his’ and ‘hers’ cards. I’m always on the lookout for masculine cards as I have lots of men in my family. THanks.

   Thank you for doing two designs from the same stamp set AND doing something I would send to a male relative or friend. Very nice use of color.

   This is an AMAZING reworking of a femme card. In honesty I’d prefer the clock card anyways! Just lovely.

   LOVE these cards. What a completely different effect with some simple changes. The use of buttons adds a nice touch. Now I’m going to have to get that Merci stamp!
