TMR - Theme ....

.... Hello again - I hope you like the sneak peek from Uniko's November release - more of that tomorrow! I'm here now with my cards for our new challenge at The Male Room - TMR#49. Our theme for the next couple of weeks is ???SCAPES! By that we mean cityscapes, seascapes, landscapes - you pick! But your project must have a masculine feel. I ended up making two cards for the challenge. Here's the first:

Stamps: Stampin' Up! - Travel Sketchbook, Beautiful Ride
Inks: Versafine - Onyx Black; Memento - London Fog
Dies: Lil Inkers - Stitched Rectangles
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Basic Grey; Tim Holtz Water Colour Card; Clear Embossing Powder; Zig Brushes

I stamped this lovely sketch scene of Venice on watercolour card, heat embossed it with clear powder and added some colour with Zig paint brushes. I finished the front with a simple sentiment and attached the panel to a grey card. On the inside I cut a white panel and simply stamped the scene again in pale grey. I think this card has a lovely vintage feel and, as it's still quite CAS, I'm submitting it to this week's challenge at Less is More - LIM#303 where the team want Vintage CAS.

I made another card featuring a cityscape - it's one of my favourite cities - New York:

Stamps: Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz - Cityscapes; SU - Beautiful Ride
Inks: Kaleidacolor - Vineyard; Versamark; Memento - London Fog
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU - Elegant Eggplant; White Embossing Powder

This one is ultra clean and simple. I stamped the image of New York city using a Kaleidacolor pad - love these colours for a guy card. I cut a strip of purple card on which I stamped a simple sentiment and heat embossed it with white powder. On the inside I cut a mat layer of purple card and on the white panel I added another cityscape - this time my favourite city - London, along with a greeting.
