Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is my turn turn to host and I would like to see 'Make It Masculine', and this challenge will last for two weeks.
Here is what I did, I used a stamp set from Chocolate Baroque - Do Right Always , these really do lend themselves to Masculine cards. I loved the Teepee but wanted it to look old and authentic, I used some Kraft card, put a thin coat of Gesso on to tone it down then stamped it up. I coloured it with water coloured pencils.
For the Totem Pole I made a distressed wood effect background using Distress Inks, then stamped and coloured with Distress Inks. I stamped my sentiment side ways to be a bit different
Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.
Here are the prizes on offer:-

You have done a super job showcasing CB's new Native American stamps Tracy and you certainly achieved an authentic hide feel to the Teepee.
A great theme, should be popular.

these look great, such unusual stamps.
Two fabulous masculine creations using these wonderful stamps! Love them both!
Two brilliant cards Tracey, great male images and colours, the backgrounds are awesome, especially the first one as it has a desert effect.
