We're back with another Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge and this week we're working on sketch #473, designed by Melissa.
Here is the prize you'll be playing for this week - just in time for those Halloween/Fall projects!
I made a masculine card with a Mark's Finest Papers stamp set called "Western Cowboy." Unfortunately their store has been closed for some time now, but this has been one of my favorite stamp sets in my collection. I stamped the cowboy and wolf on kraft and clear embossed both images before adding a touch of color with Copics. The glittered grey frame was a leftover from a previous project and I thought the subtle shimmer was perfect. The 3 horses are from the stamp set and so is the sentiment. The PTI Soft Stone cardstock base was embossed with a Darice horseshoe ef. I omitted the bow from the sentiment panel because a bow just doesn't belong on a cowboy card, right?
Before you give this sketch a try, please check out what my DT members made right here on the TMS blog! I'm sure you'll find lots of good inspiration as they've all done some amazing things with this sketch!
Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic Tuesday!

Love the sketch and how you used an older, but much loved, stamp set for your card. In the blogging climate, sometimes it is easy to focus on the new but it is great that you use whatever works. I really hope to do this sketch this week, I don’t always have time, but I really like this one. Have a good one.
The images work really nicely together for your sketch design! I love the silhouette style with the masculine cards and that shoehorse textured background is stunning with this!! Really great masculine card and fabulous take on the sketch my friend! HUGS
A WONDERFUL and very strong masculine card Carol, it's FABULOUS.

Wow, what a fabulous take on the sketch Carol! I am so loving this masculine card you have made. A great stamp set indeed and I can see why it is a favorite of yours. That embossing folder is so cool too. Nope, can't put a bow on a cowboy card, not if you want to live to see another day. lol Cowboys are tough! Hugs, Brenda
What a great masculine card design and I love the horse show embossing folder you used.
You've done a fab job with the sketch and I just love the muted colours and how everything ties with the cowboy theme of the card. It really is a great masculine card x
How cool interpretation of the new sketch!!! :D Great idea for a masculine card! Fab images and that EF is just super!!!! Well done with no bow... :D LOL
Agreed! A bow would just never do! Great masculine card, Carol. Isn't that EF the best?
Different and fabulous. The most perfect guy card without a bow...brilliant.x
I remember Marks Finest Papers. I have several of their stamps. They always stamp like a dream! I used to enter their challenges and one year I won the Christmas card club. We had to make Christmas cards every month and then after a year one name was drawn for a big prize!
I wish they had stayed in business as their were several of their wildlife stamps I loved.
Your cowboy stamp looks great and your card is lovely!
Fun western card, Carol. I love those diamonds! I still have all my MFP stamps - I always loved them too. I never had this one but loved it. Great card and Happy Birthday (I know my wishes are late but I just read about it on Jill's blog). Hugz
Really love this card, Carol! It all comes together so nicely for this week's sketch! Amazing embossing folder which adds so much to this! Great images and I love the 3 diamond shapes which you stamped the horses in. The sentiment finishes this off perfectly! Can not go wrong with this Cowboy card! Love it! Thank you for sharing and have yourself a lovely week! Hugs!
Love that embossing folder! Have one but have yet to use it. Seems I have way to much of that......unused stuff! I like the way you have the little horses in the 3 squares.
What a great masculine card Carol! I love your image. Great take on the sketch!
What a great card!! I love the horseshoe embossing!!
LUV this card. I like the embossed background, the image, and the smaller images in the squares. This is a wonderful card!!
Wow!!! This is waaaaay cool - I love the images, ALL of them and the texture just everything about your card!!
This card is so cool. It made me think of the old Marlboro man commercials. Such a great card for a guy.
