Challenge #61 - Stash

Hello and Good Morning! Our new challenge here at The Male Room - TMR#61 is a stash challenge. We want you to use your DIE CUTS on your masculine projects. There are lots of different techniques to using die cuts - you can you them just as they come out of the die, or you can use the dies in a variety of creative ways - it's up to you the technique you use, but make sure we can see how the die cuts have been used. If it's not obvious - tell us!!!

Here are some inspiration projects from the Design Team:

WINNER

#35 - Renata

I had to share more photos of this wonderful 21st birthday card.

We are all familiar with those options that come up on the PC - here's a very clever take.

So much detail and a brilliant use of the accent colour of blue!

HONOURABLE MENTIONS

(in order of submission)

#15 - Hellie

There's so much detail on this card.

Love the way the highlight of red is on the lighthouse, frame and some of the words.

Great work!

#25 - Kathy K

Another great use of red as the splash of colour. 

Such a perfectly CAS and perfectly masculine card.

Kathy also does the inside and envelope to match - check it out!

#37 - Maria

This time we have a splash of green.

Love the clean and crisp layout and the patterns on the papers.

Great guy card!

#38 - Poli

Another card using green - and it's perfect as the background for a football themed card!

Love the grungy effect in the background and the die cut ball and player.

Great work.
