Mustache

I have a fun and quick masculine card today using the new Mustache stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  It's a tall, thin card, so it would fit in a business envelope for easy mailing.

I started out by cutting a circle and drawing where the hair line should be and then colored it in with Copic markers.  After stamping the large mustache, I fussy cut it out and then colored it with the same colors as his hair.  The monocle was then heat embossed with Blackened Bronze embossing powder and colored with Copics.  As a final step, the mustache is pop dotted for more dimension.

All of the patterned papers came from my scraps.  The tabs are dies from Taylored Expressions (Simple Tabs).  I masked the sentiment so it could be stamped onto the two tabs, stamped each part with VersaMark, and then heat embossed with Forest Green embossing powder.  Memento Ink (New Sprout) adds a touch of added color to the tabs.

Heavy twine was added to the bottom of the card with 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.  Once the twine was placed where I wanted it,  Lavender Iris glitter was sprinkled over the rest of the tape to cover the remaining exposed adhesive.  It give the card a subtle touch of sparkle without being over the top.  And who says you can't add glitter to a guy card?  Not me :-).
