Sweet Stamps Masculine Challenge

Today we have a Sweet Stamps Masculine Challenge running for one week.

Today I have this beautiful image from Jackie Hill: Horse Silhouette Oval from the Wildlife Collection.

I embossed the horse with copper embossing powder and cut him with Nellie's Multi Frame oval.

I stamped the sentiment: "Howdy" from this set and embossed that with copper as well.

World Map

This month our challenge at One Crazy Stamper is to make masculine cards.

For today's post I used Flourishes Antique Map and stamped it with brown Memento ink onto craft cs. I then spritzed it with some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Leather to create that Old World feel!

I daubed on some blue ink for areas of the ocean.

I cut out the compass rose and popped it up and added some glaze. I tied a sailor's knot with some twine and added the sentiment, "#1Dad," from Flourishes Mix 'N Mugs.

I stamped that unto a ribbon banner and daubed it with brown ink.

Now I have a perfect Father's Day Card.

Garden Silhouettes

I colored one of the flowers from the Gina K Designs Garden Silhouette stamp set with markers and stamped it onto white cardstock. I cut out my focal image with a Spellbinders Frame. DP is Basic Grey Sweet Threads. I added some peachy lacey ribbon and brass brads. Thanks for stopping by and I would love to hear your comments. Have a super weekend.

Gina K Challenge

I entered this card into the Gina K Design Challenge to use two designer papers on your card. I colored the wheel barrow from What's the Dirt from Gina K Designs with copics. Added some Rangers stickes in Mustard Seed to the center of the flowers. MS border punch. DP is My Minds Eye Lime Twist: Life of the Party. I added some lace ribbon along the bottom.

Butterfly Kisses

  

Today our challenge over at the Sweet Stamps Blog is butterflies.

So, I have a couple of butterfly stamps for you on this card.

My main image is the large Bold Butterfly (627), which I stamped onto the Scroll Shadow Box Frame (442). I colored it with orange and yellow copics and then went over the yellow with a Lemon Yellow Spica  and the orange with an Orange Spica glitter pen.

I added a couple of Small Bold Butterflies. I popped one up above the sentiment Butterfly Kisses (9110).

I daubed some yellow and orange ink to soften the white background.

Here is a close up of my glittery butterfly. It really shines in real life.

Masculine Theme

 It's a new month and a new challenge at One Crazy Stamper Blog.

This month our challenge is to make masculine cards. Ah Oh! I searched my stash and I do not have too many  guy stamps. My thought is to use masculine dp or colors. So here it is:

 This is the adorable Love in a Bucket from Whimsy Stamps. I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Xpress It CS.

I colored the puppies with copics:

After I colored the puppies I took some colorless blender on a rough cloth and daubed the images to create the illusion of fur.

I cut out my focal image with a circle nestie.

Dp is Crate Paper Toy Box Collection.

There you have it, my masculine card!

Yellow ribbon and a green bow complete the card.
