The Crafty Den: Krafty Chicks challenge #783

Good morning lovely friends. I hope you're all doing ok and having a great week so far. It's time for a new challenge over at Krafty Chicks challenge and this week we are on Week 4; as always the theme is 'masculine' and Lori is our hostess (although she is currently taking a short break). I know masculine makes can be difficult but we always need them so take the challenge and get ahead. We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

I recently purchased some new stamps from Uniko Stamps and they are perfect for clean and simple masculine makes. I had fun creating my random pattern and although I'm not that good at random I think it turned out great. I really enjoyed just using inks, stamps and paper for this card and the finished size is 5" x 7". I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at my stamping:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by creating my card base using white card cut to 10" x 7" and scoring on the long side at 5". I cut a panel 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" from the same white card and using 4 different blue ink pads stamped my random pattern across the top half of the panel. I also used a line stamp from the set and stamped that with black ink which I think is really fun. I stamped the sentiment below using black ink and simply mounted the panel onto some blue card with double sided tape. I added some scraps of the blue card behind my panel for dimension and stability and then this was adhered to the card base with double sided tape. No embellishments this time as I don't think men really like them that much. For the inside I cut another white panel and blue mat panel the same as the front. I stamped a smaller version of the pattern at the bottom of the panel and a sentiment in the centre with black ink. The panels were adhered together with double sided tape and then also added to the card base with double sided tape. I really like how this card turned out; the stamp set is so much fun and there are unlimited ways to create fun patterns with it.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
