Hi, everyone! Hope you’re having a great week so far!
I’m sharing a non-floral card on Pinkfresh Studio blog which could work perfectly as a masculine design. I used the Mark the Moment product suite from the Whispering Views Release. This card was inspired by the Pinkfresh Studio August Challenge with the theme PATTERN PLAY. I also took the colors for my design from the challenge color palette.

The Mark the Moment suite includes small geometric shape dies along with stencils and dies feature symbolic elements representing exploration and self-confidence.
With so many mix-and-match options, it’s easy to create a unique, customized look.

To begin, I stenciled three hexagons onto small pieces of white cardstock using the coordinating stencils in Marigold, Begonia, and Coral Reef inks to match the challenge color palette. I then cut them using the Mark the Moment coordinating die.
Next, I moved on to the small elements—a car, a bike, and a ship. These were stenciled in two tones: Lavender and Sapphire and then die cut.
I stenciled subtle background elements in Lavender directly onto the hexagons. For the bike, I stamped the tree image several times, also in Lavender.

To add pattern to my card I stenciled the Slimline Horizontal Stripes in Lavender onto the front of a white cardbase. I die cut a piece of deep violet cardstock using a die from the Blanket Stitched Brackets set and foam mounted it onto the left side of the card front.
The ink-blended hexagons were then arranged along the edge of the bracketed panel using foam tape. Next I layered each of the stenciled icons on top, also popped up with foam tape to give them dimension.

I ink blended three small pieces of white card stock in Marigold and Coral Reef, cut it into banners with the Mark the Moment die and stamped the sentiments on them using Lavender ink.
As a final touch, a few Amethyst Glitter Drops were scattered onto the card,

Fantastic card! Love the design and colours!
I love the hexagon shapes and the stripes going across the background and great with the contrasting purple cardstock, and the different masculine themed images on the hexagons work brilliantly TaeEun and each with a lovely coordinating bit of background and a wavy banner sentiment…a wonderful card! x
