CHF Challenge #16 - Masculine Projects

It's Monday again and we have a fantastic challenge for you this week.  When it comes to creating for the men in my life, I'm usually stumped.  How do I create without glitter and ribbons?  Seriously!



So, our challenge this week was to look through the images and product lines at Cornish Heritage Farms and create a masculine project.  There are a plethora of options between Thomas Kinkade images to the Rummage Bin... and many more to come with the new lines that are being introduced post-CHA!



It Doesn't Get Much Better:

I opted to create a project using the Thomas Kinkade image "It Doesn't Get Much Better".  I stamped with Espresso ink and colored with Copic markers, trying to get the same glow of light as the rising sun on our fisherman enjoying his day.  I layered this on a simple black matte and added a small panel of Suede Brown Dark with a strip of dark copper brads.  Not a bit of glitter or ribbon!  It was hard to do, but I managed to keep it simple.
