A Kind of Wonderful Masculine Monday #67

I used some products from Catherine Pooler's latest release to make this weeks Masculine Monday card. The Angled Squares Background Stamp, the Kind of Wonderful Stamp Set and the new Three of a Kind Dies. You can see all the products HERE.

We celebrated the release with a 3 day blog hop that was FULL of inspiration. You've got until this evening to leave comments at each stop for your chance to win one of 3 $25 gift certicates to Catherine's store. I've got links for you at the end of this post.

But first here's my card for Masculine Monday.

I started by inking up the background stamp with Icing on the Cake Ink and using my MISTI, stamping it onto a piece of Sand Dunes card stock. I used a grey pencil crayon to add some shading along the edges to help give it a 3D look.

I cut a piece of Midnight card stock just slightly bigger than the stamped panel. Before I adhered the panel to it I used one of the Kind word dies and cut it from the center. I then adhered the stamped panel to the Midnight piece and then adhered that to the card base. I adhered the kind die to some craft foam that had also been cut with the die. I figured out where I was going to have the die on the card and then using Midnight Ink I stamped some words in the open spaces and then adhered the word Kind.

This next pic shows how the panel has a 3D look to it.
