Travel Our World

I made today's card for the Male Room Challenge -  Vacation or On the Beach.
I went with the Vacation theme - so I could use my new stamps from Tim Holtz - City Scapes.  I stamped the Paris, London and Sydney City Scape stamps (there's also a Rome and San Francisco in the set) using Ranger Distress Hickory Smoke ink on Rustic Cream cardstock.
I sponged the edges with Ranger Distress Tea Dye ink and added Idea-ology Big Chat Stickers.  I drew around the stickers with a black Stabilo pencil and then rubbed it with a wet finger to smudge it.
I added an Idea-ology Small Talk sticker and a Happy Birthday sentiment inside.
You still have a few days to link up your masculine card over at the Male Room - check out all the details and DT inspiration here.

Also linking my card to Addicted to Stamps and More - Make Your Mark
(I used a Stabilo pencil around the word stickers and sponged the edges)
Stamps:  City Scapes and Handwritten Sentiments - Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous
Paper:  Rustic Cream, Smokey Shadow - PTI
Ink:  Ranger Distress Hickory Smoke and Tea Dye.
Accessories:  Black Stabilo Pencil, foam dots, Idea-ology Big Chat Stickers and Small Talk Stickers.

    Fantastic masculine card. I love those city scapes, and you made a brilliant background with them. Your choice of colors/neutral is spot on.
