Some manly cards for my upcoming card class. I knew I wanted to show off this lovely Nature Silhouettes stamp set.
I looked through my previous manly cards and found a color combination I really liked - soft suede, kraft, white and old olive.
I stamped the tree and wolf (with stamp-a-ma-jig) in the circle. Then I stamped it on the paper behind and popped the circle up on it. I did some distressing on the white layer behind it.
The green background is ripped and then I inked the texturz pad to get that lovely colored impression.

This is wonderful! What a great masculine card! I like the way you did a circle behind the wolf and the textured impressions background sheet is a great idea!

I spotted these two cards last night - I don't often need masculine cards, luckily as I'm not good at them. But I think torn edges always work well. Thanks for sharing how you did the effect on the green background - I thought it was DP.
I'm going to have to scour my room for the thank ewe stamp! I used it not that long ago, but it wasn't in the case, nor in my tray of SU sets. I cut the sentiments separate from the images, so it's only a little bitty thing, but I am hoping it will turn up. I was stymied when it wasn't there and I had to go hunting for something else.
