Today we have a great challenge for you at the High Hopes blog and Niki is asking us to make a masculine card. This is really not difficult with so many cute HH images perfect for the men in our life. Don't forget that each week if you join our challenge you have a chance of winning a yummy High Hopes stamp and sentiment! I have used the great sketch from Papertake weekly challenge - thanks Dawny!
This cute character is called Lumpy. I stamped Lumpy and then masked him so I could copic airbrush the sky and sand... for a first attempt I am really pleased with the effect and can't believe that just practicing for a short while that I used the whole air can! I can feel a purchase coming on soon for a compressor! It was so much fun... i'm going to want to spray everything insight!
I have used my new photo corner punch - Thanks K.. I love it! Do you like how I have put the sentiment on? This is the labels one nestie which I have tucked up behind the image. I wasn't planning on doing it like this but and it was a happy accident while putting my card together. The gorgeous papers are Basic Grey "Boxer" and just perfect for guy cards.Have a great Sunday!
Hugs,

Wow!! Your airbrush background turned out fabulously! I have the airbrush too but I've never used it! It's time that I do. I don't have a compresser. . .gee, it took one whole can to practice with. I guess I'll have to buy the compressor too! LOL!
Your masculine card turned out awesome, Nikki! Love the dp that you used too!!
