Red Rubber Inspirational #210 For the Boys

I'm hosting the inspirational challenge this week on the Red Rubber Inspirationals blog and my theme is For the Boys.  I wanted to see masculine themed images or colors used on your project...and you must have stamping on your project somewhere.

For complete Inspirational Rules, please read them here.

Here are my projects based on our theme this week:

For my first card I started out by first printing the sentiment from Pickled Potpourri onto my cardstock.  I then stamped the lighthouse image from the Lighthouse and Birds set using Momento ink. I then colored the image using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils.  I then cut out the image using deckle scissors and then backed with grey cardstock and then mounted onto the card base.

For my second card I stamped the Ship Collage image onto my cardstock and colored it with my Spectrum Noir colored pencils.  I then strung jute across my card base that I covered with a piece of book paper.  I then backed the image with dark green cardstock and mounted it onto my card.

I hope you will join my challenge this week!  Link up your For the boys project on the Red Rubber Inspirationals blog post here.

Happy crafting...Lynda
