Dimensional Broderie layers for Masculine cards

Hello there!

I have a great masculine card idea to share today, using some stencils and nesting dies. I find using a certain colour palette can really sets the tone. Grey hues are my chosen palette for this Brother card . 

TUTORIAL: 

Starting off, I die cut 4 different tones of grey panels out from the centre. For each panel I die cut 2 sizes down from largest to smallest  nesting die set.  I used Claina Palmer’s A6 Nesting dies  Then, I layered them together to get an even spacing to create an inverted ‘window’ panel and secure them with some washi tape. 

Once the panels are evenly taped, I stencilled the Broderie design on top of all the layers with some Midas Platinum metallic ink. Since the pigment ink takes a while to dry, I decided to add some silver embossing powder for more definition to the pattern. Now that all the panels are heat embossed, I begin stacking the layers using some foam tape, Trying my  best to match up the patterns as best as I could

 

I finished off the card by adding a brass embellish of an anchor to the top centre of the card. Beneath the anchor, I adhered an embossed sentiment and the Die cut word and shadow set ‘Brother’. Both the sentiment and word dies are from Claina Palmer Designs.  

 And there you have it. If you ever need an idea or any inspiration for a masculine card, I hope this tutorial has helped you and I would love to see your version with a  #inspiredbyaliscove.
