It’s time for the May ICS Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “It’s A Guy Thing In Black & White.” We are featuring masculine projects using only black and white products. I used the A Good Man stamp set and the Timeless Label Punch, and watercolored with an Aqua Painter and Memento ink refill on Shimmery White cardstock.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
• Shimmery White CS layer cut to 3-3/8″ x 3-1/2″
• Shimmery White CS layer cut to 3″ x 3″
• Shimmery White CS layer cut to 2-1/2″ x 4″
• Shimmery White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
• any scrap paper cut to 4-1/4″ x 3″

Stamped with the A Good Man stamp set:

• image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the 2-1/2″ x 4″
• sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Shimmery White CS

Cut using the Timeless Label Punch:

• sentiment

Colored using an Aqua Painter and Tuxedo Black Memento ink:

• stripes onto the 3-3/8″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Shimmery White CS
• splotches onto the 3″ x 3″ piece of Shimmery White CS
• stamped image
• edges of the punched sentiment
• 4-1/4″ x 3″ scrap paper laid on the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Shimmery White CS, then used the Aqua Painter to splatter all around the edges
• removed scrap paper and painted a frame on the inner edge of the splattered area
• Note: I used a large clear block as a palette for the Memento ink refill. 

Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:

• 3 small frosted epoxy droplets in Dark Basic Black

Assembled the card:

• burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
• striped layer glued onto the front of the card base
• splotchy layer glued onto the front of the card base, over the striped layer
• image layer adhered over the first two layers using Stampin’ Dimensionals
• sentiment glued to the image layer on the left and adhered onto the splotchy layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right
• 3 droplets applied onto the layers
• 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Shimmery White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
