CAS and Masculine

Hopping in really quick tonight to sneak in two cards for two challenges I didn't want to miss!  

First I have a CAS masculine card.

The die is from Sizzix Thinlets - Shape Strips - and the sentiment is from Free Spirit Sentiments by Waltzingmouse.

I'm linking this card to CAS-ology Cue Card Repeat

My second card is also masculine but a little more involved.  I stamped the mountains and cactus strip from Way Out West along with the cowboy from Back in the Saddle on the card base.  All the stamps are from Waltzingmouse.  I die cut a piece out of the brown Bazzill card stock using a Thinlits Labels Die from Alterations and laid the brown panel over the card base so the desert scene showed through.   The sentiment from Back in the Saddle is stamped on another die cut using a Labels Die.

Here's a close up of the scene framed by the label cut out. I used Ocean Tides, Scarlet Jewell and Smokey Shadow inks from Papertrey Ink and sponged over the whole area with Ranger Distress Tea Dye Ink.

I'm linking this card to Cardz4Guyz - sketch challenge.

I'm off to bed - back to work tomorrow - vacation is over  : (
