Masculine cards can be so hard to do, especially if you live in my household where one little sequin or enamel dot is declared as "too much bling". Sometimes I think they would be happy with a sentiment stamped in black on a white card - but I'd prefer to make a little more effort.
Today I made a masculine sympathy card, thankfully not because I need it - but I'm sure there will be a need in the church card racks.
I used my Clarity Stencil Brushes (now available at Taylored Expressions!) to brush a narrow strip of yellow across the center, with a wider strip of blue on top and green at the bottom. I added a bit of orange for the setting sun. I LOVE these brushes. I've never been able to sponge; no matter what sponge I use nor how careful I am - I always get lines. The color goes on so smoothly with these brushes and you can build it up to the intensity of color that you need.
I would highly recommend using Stick It Adhesive on this die cut. Cut a piece of cardstock slightly bigger than the die and adhere Stick It Adhesive. Then cut it out - just peel the back off to adhere and every little bit and piece has adhesive!
