The Male Room - Make Pink Masculine!!

We have a new challenge at The Male Room and boy is it a challenge!! "Make pink masculine"!!! I have to admit I really, really struggled with this and in the end decided on just a small amount of pink.


I coloured the seaweed stamp with my markers and used Melon Mamb, Pink Pirouette, and Strawberry Slush. I'm afraid my photo seems to look more orane than pink! I inked the fish with both gold and silver encore ink pads - the idea was to make it shimmery like fish scales, but it really didn't photo well either! The piece of silver mesh was lyin around on my desk, after it had fallen out of my box of oddments - thought it could symbolise a fishing net, and Pool Party card to represent the sea.

Make My Monday - Vacation

Good morning everyone. It's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday and this week it's my turn to choose the theme. As we are just at the start of the school holidays it's that time of year when everyone is setting off for a few days - or longer if they're lucky- to recharge their batteries! So my theme is Vacation. So whether it's the beach, a " staycation", or travelling to distant climes the DT want to see your creations. Here's mine:



I really enjoyed creating this and it was so easy with all the new stamp sets. The sea was made using the strip stamp from Work of Art and the sky used the smaller paint splash randomly, stamping off first to give a more subtle effect. The little birds were doodled in after I'd put it all together as I had managed to get a small black smudge just above the ship's mast. On most cards I'd have added a butterfly - but it didn't seem to fit with this card (lol)!! The shells were stamped on snippets and mounted on dimensionals. That means I can go and visit Pixies Snippets Playground where Di always want us to use snippets.
