Masculine

 The last challenge I had on New Years day was to make a masculine card, I went with this stamp, that I colored with markers. I used an embossing folder for my background which I inked the raised edges.


  • ODBD - Living water stamps, colored w/markers
  • Cuttlebug - Forest Branches embossing folder
  • Spellbinders - Lg. Deckled Rectangle die

I would like to add my card to the Can you handle the pressure blog challenge

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say Hi today,

Connie

Love the texture and that pretty image--could be any New England town. Very quaint! Perfect masculine creation! I know I say this a lot but I am sure you and your Hubby have seen this view on your travels :)
