Create with Connie and Mary--Its a Masculine...

The theme for the first Saturday is June is Masculine! I really wanted to create a scrapbook page as I was really focused on cards for May. I shared a different card each month for the month of May. So if you are new here today, feel free to spend some time going through my posts and hopefully feel inspired!

This masculine page features my youngest son and husband and is a mix of NEW and current products. I pulled out my Geared Up Garage bundle and paired it with our new blue—Misty Moonlight! The oil splats are stamped in Versamark and embossed in clear embossing powder. Its a great solve for not having my new Misty Moonlight ink pad yet. I added in a Night of Navy photo mat to compliment the blue background and used the Denim Ribbon to add another blue tone and texture. My favourite part of the layout is probably the amazing DSP background. This is from the In Good Taste DSP stack and it looks like thick white paint on a canvas with a blue tint. I added in a 1 1/4 strip of In Color DSP in the woodgrain pattern on the left side. I LOVE this pattern option in the 6x6 stacks.

To add a bit of extra texture or grunge to the gears I swiped my Basic Grey ink pad over top of Smoky Slate card stock. I then cut the large gear die out of this piece.
