Wildlife Reserve

These two cards use the stamp set Wildlife Reserve; normally I like the really girly stamp sets with flowers and hearts and whatnot - but once I started using the set, I got hooked on it! It's the perfect set to make masculine cards with.

Masculine cards can be tough to make for those like myself that love embellishments. For those like me, I have these suggestions:


1. Keep things simple - only one or two stamped images/phrases.
2. Use minimal embellishments. Metals will always work well.
3. Browns and dark colors are the best to use when first starting out. Once you get comfortable, you can start branching out and try using color schemes that incorporate other colors that aren't typically associated with men.
