Masculine cards are more of a challenge for me because I can't rely on flowers and ribbons that are my norm. The stenciling on kraft cardstock was perfect for a more masculine look when I chose a geometric stencil. I applied two shades of blue ink over the white but also left some of the white uncolored. Although I masked off a square before inking, I thought the design needed more contrast so I added a dark blue cardstock panel. The smaller gears are commercial metallic pieces that I found in my stash but I die cut, colored and clear embossed the larger gear. Just added a few sequins for highlights, thinking they weren't too feminine to work here. Now which guy has the next birthday?!
