Hello Honey Bee friends! Today I'm sharing this fun masculine card that features the Lovely Layers: Vintage Bug Honey Cuts. I haven't had a chance to play with this fun little set and it makes a fantastic card for a guy! Fun fact: my very first car was a VW Beetle that was a pale yellow, had a stick shift, crank windows, and no AC!! In Texas!!! Good thing I was super young to be able to handle that heat! Hahaha!
I've paired the Lovely Layers: Vintage Bug with a favorite older Lakeside Scene Builder die and the coordinating At The Lake stencil set.
I planned on this being a 5" x 7" card and placed the Lakeside Scene Builder die onto my 5" x 7" white cardstock panel in order to create space for the Vintage Bug below the lake.
To color the lake scene, I used various inks in my stash to color through each of the six At The Lake Stencils using ink blending brushes. Note: I stenciled the sky directly onto and, at the top of, my A7 card base.
I die cut the canoe and oar (in the Lakeside Scene Builder set) from white cardstock and colored the pieces with Copic markers.
Then I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the die cut and stenciled piece to my card.
Next I die cut blue, black, white, and silver cardstocks with the dies from the Lovely Layers: Vintage Bug set. The base layer of the Bug is cut from white cardstock and this allowed me to use a blue Copic marker to add color for the windows. After adding a bit of blue ink shading with a blender brush, I used glue to assemble the Bug.
The sentiments are from the Hooked On You stamp set. I stamped them with black pigment ink and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Some foam adhesive strips pops them up on the card.
I totally love this lake scene with the Lakeside Scene Builder and the At The Lake Stencils! The Vintage Bug fits right in, I think! Change up the sentiments for lots of other occasions for the guys!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope it's a good and crafty day for you!
