The Wilderness Awaits - Red Fox

I have a masculine card for you today using another stamp from the Stampin' Up! set The Wilderness Awaits.  I made this card for my hubby's birthday this time.  First my daughter's birthday, now my husband's. :)  I really like the fox, but didn't want to just plop him on the card so I had to create the woods and mountains around and behind him. :)

I'm not so sure about the fact that he's so big in the pic, but I'm just imagining him sitting on another mountain top with the view behind him.  I have to admit I almost forgot to make my hubby a card so I had to whip this one together pretty quickly and didn't have time to play around with the scenery at all.  Sorry, Dear! 

First I stamped the fox and added more grass from other various stamps I had. Then I added in the tress.  After that I tore a piece of scrap paper and sponged the shape of the mountains in (all of this done with StazOn Black).  After that I grabbed my ink pads and aqua painter and filled everything in.  I painted the sky last and masked the moon, but I don't remember the size since I have a bunch of different sized circles cut out already to grab for cards like this.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

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!

The Wilderness Awaits

Today I have a nice Father's Day card for you.  I also made it as a birthday card, but it could be a great masculine card for any occasion too.  It's from the new Stampin' Up! set The Wilderness Awaits.  It was also one of my stamp a stack cards for this month.  It's not difficult to make at all just takes a little time since you do a bit of water coloring.  I always try to make most of the cards pretty simple, but have one card that takes a bit of time. They still keep coming even when some of them are hard, and I'm SO thankful for each of them!  

A pic of both cards together.  I made them just a bit different because I didn't have one solid strip for the background and was too lazy to cut one out of a new sheet of paper so I just took two smaller strips that were already cut and used them instead. :)

Just a close up of each of the cards.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
