Tux by Brutus Monroe

Hello friends and happy Wednesday!  Today I am sharing more elegant masculine themed cards featuring the Tux stamp set from Brutus Monroe.  I absolutely love this stamp set and think that it could be used for a wide variety of occasions!  If you are looking for a really classic and timeless stamp set to add to your collection for future masculine themed cards, I'd highly recommend this one. 

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from black cardstock.  Using the Diagonal Stripes with Window die from Pinkfresh Studio, I cut the background frame from black cardstock.  I placed a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of light gray cardstock behind the frame.  Using the Gilded Holiday paper pack from Whimsy Stamps, I cut a piece of the gold and black polka dot paper to fit inside the window.   I stamped the tuxedo in Versamark ink on black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I fussy cut the tuxedo out and adhered it to the left side of the card using 3M foam adhesive.  I stamped the sentiment "you're a classic" using the You're A Classic stamp set and coordinating dies from Honey Bee Stamps in Memento Black ink on white cardstock.  I used the coordinating die to cut the sentiment out.  I adhered the sentiment to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a couple white sequins randomly to the card for texture.  

Here is the second tuxedo card I created using the same Brutus Monroe stamp set:

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from black cardstock.  For the first mat, I used a piece of paper from the Gilded Holiday paper pack from Whimsy Stamps.  I adhered this black, gold and white striped paper directly to the card base.  I cut a 4 " x 3" piece of black cardstock and stamped polka dots over it in Versamark ink.  I heat embossed the polka dots with black embossing powder to give it a subtle shine and pattern.  I adhered the black rectangle to the center of the card at a slight angle.  I stamped the tuxedo in Versamark ink on white cardstock and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.  I fussy cut the tuxedo out and adhered it to the right side of the card using 3M foam adhesive.  I stamped the words "happy birthday" in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock.  I used the coordinating die to die cut the sentiment out and adhered it to the card using foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a couple gold sequins to the card for added dimension and sparkle.  

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
