Masculine cards are never easy for me, but I had fun with this one creating this Western scene.
Cowboy Silhouette Stamp // Enjoy Life Stamp Set // Antique Linen Ink // Tea Dye Ink // Weathered Wood Ink // Shabby Shutters Ink // Ink Blending Tool // TH Sticker Quotes
I am so not good with scenery type cards, but I love them and want to get better at it. I started out by tearing some printer paper to create masks. I kept the masks in place on my white card front with painters tape while inking. After the inking was complete I stamped the Cowboy Silhouette image using Versafine Onyx ink. I wanted some sort of grass in the foreground so Penny Black's set Enjoy Life was perfect for this. The edges of my inked panel were wiped with the black ink pad as well to create a little bit of a black border. Next I punched out the circle using kraft card stock, added a strip of striped paper and finished off with a sticky sentiment from Tim Holtz Sticker Quotes set. Some May Arts Jute twinecompletes the card front. I framed with kraft card stock then mounted onto a Neenah linen textured card base.

Thanks Brenda, you know your card scenes always inspire me to try these types of cards. They are not easy for me, but it can only get easier, the more I try :)
Thank you, Mervi, I was really happy when I got this stamp, it works so well for all the guys that aren't into sports (I think they do exist!) , but I think they all like Wild West type things.
Thank you, Maxine.
