I haven't made a masculine card in so long and really don't mind making them at all. I used one of the stamps from Mark's Finest Papers (Bold and Free)......a little patterned paper, sponging with Distress Inks, twine, and a few wooden stars - and the card was completed. The image was colored with Copics.
I'll enter this in the challenge at Speedy Fox and Friends (Brown) and the Mod Squad Challenge (Animal).
Thanks for stopping by.......

Oh, Lynn, this is beautiful! I wish I could make a masculine card like this! I struggle with them! Brian ends up with a lot of pink cards haha! This year I want to make more for birthdays - I've got 3 brothers and two nephews after all! Awesome job! The bull is an unusual stamp - I don't have anything like this in my stash. Maybe that's my problem - it's hard to make the cats manly but I'm determined to do it haha! Glad you had some time for crafting!
ReplyDeleteStunning card Lynn - I don't mind your 'bull' at all!! So glad you found time to craft.

Fantastic card and wonderfully colored! Love the card!
ReplyDeleteLol, I would take your bull any day, Lynn! I got my warm days, thanks for sharing some. I am so glad I stopped by and I saw the MFP challenge. Don't want to give your handsome Bison card competition, but my latest post is all brown! You did some great coloring here.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great image, colored so perfectly and I love all the distressing around the edges. That's no bull either! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's so fabulous, Lynn!! I love the image!! You colored it perfectly!! I struggle so much with masculine cards. You've done such a beautiful job!! Love the sentiment, too!! Have a great evening!! Big hugs :)

love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great masculine card Lynn! I love that image of the buffalo, you have colored him up so well. This image is so great for masculine cards too. I love the sentiment as well as the pattern paper you used and that double stitched oval. The twine adds to the masculine feel as well as those star, which look wooden to me. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSuch a great card- prob best I have seen using this set! Glad you had some fun time while Jim was immersed in sports!
ReplyDeleteSuperb card, Lynn! What a great masculine card and a fabulous use of shading - lovely as can be!
ReplyDeleteFabulous masculine card Lynn! I love that image and your beautiful distressing!!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great "guy" card. TFS at the MFP Stamps Challenge this week! kReN@afourthlife.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous my friend!
ReplyDeleteLynn, I'm way behind on visiting but this card is just terrific. I love the coloring you did her and your sponging really adds so much to the overall look. Have a good weekend. Hopefully I can get back on a regular schedule soon. My craft room hasn't seen anything of me all week.
ReplyDeleteI came back to comment again and let you know that this card won over at MFP's challenge! Congrats my friend, I'm happy for ya!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card Lynn.
ReplyDeleteNo Bull! Fantastic work and design. Terrific copic coloring, and I like the way you've distressed the corners of the DP that forms the frame. It does indeed work great for a masculine card. Great sentiment to work with this image (and of course I'm loving the stitched oval too!) TFS & Hugs Oh yeah, just saw Carol's comment!Congrats on your win. Very well deserved!
ReplyDeleteMy DH was busy watching sports too...so I got a little crafting time in too. Had a smile to think that you and other crafters were doing the same thing
ReplyDeleteYour card looks great. A strong masculine feel.
I love a good masculine card Lynn..and this image is fabulous..love the papers and clean design..how come I have missed so many of your projects?.. not sure where I am sometimes..

Fab guy card Lynn. I remember buying that stamp set because of a card you had done... I think it was of buffalo running or being chased. Anyway, my stamp set is still brand new. hahahhaha... I have a few of those.
ReplyDeletewow - this is so great! I love that image - so bold and cool! Well done! Hugz
