Today I have a masculine birthday card which I'm dropping into my last OWH box of cards before they close the doors on August 1st.
I used a MFP Southwest Cowboy stamp set for the images and barbed wire, and a SNSS sentiment. The images were stamped with Versafine Onyx black and embossed with clear detail embossing powder. I die cut each panel using a set of Lil Inker stitched rectangles, then sponged the smaller stamped pieces with scarlet, orange and yellow ColorBox pigment inks. I mounted the pieces on a piece of black, and tied some matching twine around the lower edge. The dsp is from K&Co Que Sera Sera, and I stamped 3 rows of the barbed wire with really rust ink.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
MFP Speedy Fox and Friends #264 - follow the sketch
Words2ScrapBy#18 - it's a man's world
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - make it masculine
Mod Squad Challenge - make a birthday card
Thanks for stopping by and happy trails to you!

What great images and I love the inked background colors! Thanks for entering this manly beauty in the W2SB Challenge!
Great masculine card with the images and the inked background. Thanks for sharing with us at MFP's Speedy Fox and Friends.
Carol, how sweet of you to pop by my blog and leave a warm, smile-making comment on my stencil cards. Thank you! Your cowboy card here: awesome! This card would be a mega-hit where I live, as a yearly Stampede takes place that brings out the 'cowboy' and cowgirl in a lot of people! Your sponging...oh my! Perfect canvases for those fabulous silhouettes!

Beautifully inked masculine card Carol xxx
This is awe inspiring! I love everything about it. It also reminds me that awhile ago I bought some southwestern dies that have not yet been used! I see some masculine themed cards in my future!
Awesome masculine card but it could be an awesome "cowgirl" card too. Your sponging is perfect and I love the die cuts you used. Thank you for sharing with us at MFP Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge.
