It's my turn to be host this week for the Masculine Anything Goes Challenge.
Looking for inspiration, my eye fell on a jar of silver embossing paste, and I realized I hadn't used it in quite a while. Then, I went through a stack of long-retired stamps and pulled out one I really like - but, again, hadn't used recently.
And, this is what happened:
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, I first stamped the Off the Grid stamp randomly with Gray Granite. I used the brick stencil with the silver embossing paste.
Since I had no idea what theme this card would be, I started going through my stamp sets and when I came to the Animal Outing set, the light bulb went on!
The rhinoceros is second generation stamping to make a lighter image, and the sentiment is full strength. To make the frame around the image, I embossed some Galvanized Foil with the Corrugated embossing folder and cut thin strips from it.
Mounting it all onto a Gray Granite card base finished off the monochromatic look.
Take a look at Watercooler Wednesday for more inspiration and then show us your masculine design.
