For this first card I was trying for a landscape effect. I had a specific person in mind when I made it too, my son, who is making good decisions even when he knows that some of the adults in his life will not agree . . . in short, he's becoming an adult and I'm very proud of him. For the landscape I stamped the image in brown stazon and then used watercolors to blend in a sky and the purple for the mountains. I do enjoy the color purple but don't use it enough.
For this second card I made a polished stone background. I elongated the stamped image a bit by coloring in with a black copic marker, it just seemed to fit the circle frame a bit better . . . I think I still need more practice with my copics! Thanks for looking, enjoy hopping and good luck!
Here is the order for Thursday, August 12-Regal and Proud

Your first card made me think of the song "America the Beautiful" with your purple mountains...and love the polished stone,especially with these colors. Perfect with this stamp set.

I like the effect of the alcohol inks with the eagle stamp set. I don't use purple often enough either. Beautiful.
Peggysue--what great cards for men!!! I really like both of them but for some reason the first one is my favorite. I think it's all the layering, yet the clean and simple lines of the card! Great job. TFS
