I love it when I get ahead on my DT stuff because I get to play in challenges. I got a couple [more] in my email that sparked my interest so I am joining in~
These 2 challenges really complimented each other - the colors from Just Add Ink #598 are perfect for a male card, and adding texture for Cardz 4 Guyz #293 is right up my alley!
I loved the colors for JAI - they totally talked to me! My blue is a little off, but I am still loving this combo! I used acrylic paint for my background so I got as close as I could for the colors. Since I made a bigger panel, I was able to get a couple of cards. Fine with me - more for my background stock!
Along with the paint for texture, I also used a stencil with some black embossing paste. I really could of added more layers of texture, but I made myself stop. Sometimes less is okay!
Thanks Challenges! I had a great time playing along~
Thanks for stopping by~

Those are fantastic, great masculine feel, and the texture really brings them to life. Thanks for joining us at Cardz 4 Guys!
Fabulous cards Vicki! I Love the layering of the background colours. The use of black is a fantastic contrast and really adds to the masculine feel of the cards. Thanks for playing along this week at Just Add Ink. Rochelle xo
