The Wilderness Awaits - Elusive Elk

I have another masculine card for you today inspired by this week's sketch challenge at Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday.  I have to admit I used the sketch rather loosely and didn't do the twist, but the first thing I started out with got wet after I had done all of my sponging and stamping and I was too frustrated to start that over. :(  I decided to just come up with something else and since I never seem to have enough masculine cards I pulled out the new Stampin' Up! set The Wilderness Awaits.

I stamped the elk on watercolor paper using StazOn Black ink.  I extended the rock just a bit more so the mountain top that he is standing on is longer than the actual the stamp and goes to the edge of the card.  Then I colored him in using an aqua painter and Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso inks from Stampin' Up!  I colored the rock under him with Sahara Sand, then Smoky Slate.  The last thing I did was punch out a circle and placed it where I wanted the moon to be, then colored in the sky using Soft Sky ink.

I hope you enjoy today's masculine card.  I love making them as much as all the feminine cards I make. :)  If you get a chance check out all the other great cards HERE made using this week's sketch.  We'd love to have you play along too if you get a chance! :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
