Masculine cards can be difficult for some people – flowers and butterflies are traditionally “girly” cards but not always but making a card for a guy can be a little trickier!
This is one of my go to masculine card sets and it looks beautiful in hues of blue green like Pool Party and Coastal Cabana!

Measurements:
BASE: Coastal Cabana: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White layers: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″
scraps for die cut plane and clouds
Color one of the Basic White layers with a blending brush and Pool Party and Coastal Cabana ink. I brushed from the outer edges of the paper inward so the darker ink color is on the edges of the paper.
I stamped the clouds where i wanted to place the popped up clouds and colored a little darker around the edges of the clouds with the Coastal Cabana ink.
I stamped the larger cloud image four times in Coastal Cabana ink on Basic White cardstock scraps and die cut them out.
I stamped the large airplane and colored them with Pool Party and Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends and Balmy Blue for the propellors.

I colored the whirling propellor blades with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends markers and then colored it with the color lifter to give it a see through appearance.
I popped up the clouds except for the one behind the airplane and popped the airplane up on Stampin’ Dimensionals as well.
Stamp the bottom of a die circle from Spotlight on Nature die with the Happy Birthday from the Adventurous Sky stamp set. Adhere at the top of the Blending brushed layer and cut off the top of the circle die.
Adhere the blended layer onto a Basic White layer with just a small border. Then I adhered those layers to the Coastal Cabana base card.
