Hi everyone. I'm back today with a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Keep It Simple challenge. Sometimes it is harder to stay simple than to get more complex, isn't it? I also want to thank Esther for having been our guest designer for our last challenge.
Our new theme for the next 2 weeks is
Make It Masculine
I'm sure you can think of lots of masculine ideas from sports, steampunk, fishing, darker colors, cars, etc..
I was excited to go with an ocean theme because I love visiting the ocean, and it works perfectly for a masculine challenge. Plus my hubby is a boat person so this page is for him.
I started with a white page that I used to clean off the paint from a stencil. I liked how it looked, so once the paint dried I inked the page a bit, glued down some ocean theme paper scraps, and then added a variety of die cuts and other ephemera from my stash.
Then I stamped this quote from an old Artistic Outpost set.
We welcome all types of art at Try It on Tuesday. We hope you're thinking masculine and join us.
And before I forget, check out all the other ideas from our designers too. There's a lot of inspiration to help you come up with some great masculine ideas should you feel stuck.
Thanks for visiting.

I am not a huge fan of boats but the ocean draws me like iron filings to a magnet. I hope to see the Pacific again in September with a visit to Vancouver Island. If the only the forest fires will behave....... hugs - David
