Masculine cards

Hello Scrappy friends, welcome back.
Just a quick post today sharing two Birthday Cards.
I've been playing with my new favourite product; Tim Holtz Oxide distress inks. 
The stamp is by Viva Las Vegas and I used 
Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint and Walnut stain inks.
The background mat paper is from Kaisercraft "Factory 42."
The ink colours are, Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick and Vintage Photo.
The background mat paper is also from Kaisercraft "Factory 42."

I love the way these inks blend so well, they give a creamy, intense, matte finish
and respond to water beautifully.

Thanks for calling in, I hope you come again.

    Gorgeous cards, Helen, really striking - and it's always good to have some inspiration for the guys in our lives! I haven't had chance to play with any oxide inks yet, but have a feeling I'm going to enjoy them :o)

    I'm so excited to see you having a play with these fun (reactive) inks! I know you will continue to enjoy them - I certainly do! I really love your perfectly blended backgrounds with the few, but bold splatters. What a cool stamp! Love love these cards, my dear. Hugs, Autumn
