My post is definitely later than I planned since last night I decided to do a little updating on my computer. Yeah, what I thought might take ten minutes ended up taking over two hours. I was too tired to even think about what to write at that point! lol So today I have a group of cards that were inspired by a couple of different challenges. First I was checking out the Paper Players challenge #168 and it's all about masculine cards...CAS cards at that. Then I saw the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge #171 and thought it would be perfect for a masculine card because it was CAS! I grabbed my Walk in the Wild set and got busy.
After making a card to match the challenge I decided to make three more...all a little different, but using the same theme.
These were quick and easy to make except I left a finger smudge on one and ended up doing a little sponging on the last two cards to cover it up. Glad most mistakes are fixable!! :)
And the whole set together...
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
