Some of the Reverse Confetti designers are teaming up with StampNation today to celebrate the men in our lives and StampNation's newest online class, “Cards For Him,” which is now open for registration! This class is perfectly timed for Father’s Day which is right around the corner, but of course is great for masculine card ideas year-round.
Masculine cards are challenging for many of us, and this class really delivers when it comes to ideas and techniques especially suitable for little boys, tweens/teens, and men! Today's card was inspired by the Texture lesson:
I started by spreading some dimensional paint over a stencil on watercolor paper. After the paint dried, I used re-inkers, a mop brush, and water to splotch on some color. I love how the modeling paste resists the ink a little bit. The sentiment, a mix of stamps from Reverse Confetti's ARROWS 'N ELEMENTS, CLASS ACT, and SPOOKY SENTIMENTS, is die-cut with the little pocket/flap die in the CLASS ACT CONFETTI CUTS die set.
There are TEN FREE class registrations hidden along the hop, as well as a $15 REVERSE CONFETTI gift certificate, so make sure you leave comments along the way. The more comments you make, the greater your chances are for winning!
You have until 11:59 pm on May 2nd to leave a comment to be entered to win! Winners will be announced at on May 3rd on Catherine's Blog.
