There's a new challenge at Creative With Stamps-and it's for Manly Cards!
For my card I used a Dina Wakley stencil on a gessoed book page. I used fire brick and gathered twigs distress inks for the bricks. The sentiment shape is a Tim Holtz mover shaker and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up. I inked the edges with graphite black Dew Drop ink. Also, I got a new Sizzix die cut from Tim Holtz and that is on the corner behind the suitcase.
The Suitcase! I love this suitcase! It's a digi stamp from Stamplorations (one of our sponsors-thank you!). And I have colored it with Copic markers a green and warm grey. I had to be careful because I colored the suitcase first and then decided to do brick work and then realized I had green and red. And it's not a Christmas card! But I think I was able to make the bricks brown enough. LOL I hope so anyways!
I really like how this card turned out. I was going to do a miss you but with all of the graduating seniors-I thought this would be great for a guy who was graduating and leaving-like off to college or the service.
We have two great sponsors this month so be sure to check them out!
Also, are Team has done a great Manly job making cards-so be sure to see them also! :) When you link up be sure to put our Challenge picture (at the top of this post) on your post! :)
Until next time my friends...Have a beautiful day! :)

Great masculine card. I like the colors and the background.
Wonderful coloring and very cool card design for a Grad going off to college, Katy! Good job with the digi suitcase and brick wall stencil on a printed page!
What a great digi image and love the brick wall and die cut behind the suitcase. I recently got this set of dies from Sizzix - got them home and thought hmmm....but now you have given me some ideas.
