Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving!!! After a few days of "down time", I'm back in the stamping groove!!! Today's Inspiration Challenge is to choose a photo from your Favorites Gallery to recreate. I picked this awesome card by Lois aka clownmom....I love the sponged panel with the silhouette....so striking! I am using an upcoming set by Our Daily Bread designs, 'Plough the Fields', plus two new dies sets (ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies and ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies) which will all be available on December 1st. I love this stamp set so much, especially since I'm always needing help in creating masculine cards. I started by cutting the white rectangle, masked the top and bottom, sponged the center portion with rust, olive, blue, and purple, removed the masks and stamped the image in black. Though Lois' card was very CAS, I added linen thread, the die cut circle for the sentiment, plus three metallic dots in the corner. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

I'm honored that you chose one of my cards, Angie. Reverse Masking is one of my favorite techniques. Your sponging of the sky and ground is so smooth, and the image is great for a guy (read "farmer").

What a perfect masculine card -- the sentiment and the image goes perfectly together too!
