Making masculine cards is easy with the game on stamp set. Techniques I used were masking and marker to stamp inking.

To make the chess pieces, I stamped the whole image first in Gray granite ink, then placed a mask over the top of the image and stamped again in memento black.

To make the playing cards, I stamped the whole image first in Gray granite ink, then I cleaned the stamp and just coloured the Ace card with a black stampin’ marker pen. I took care to not colour the hearts. Once I had stamped my image, I drew in the little clubs under the A’s and I stamped the larger club image in the centre. The larger club image is part of the Game on stamp set.
