Perfect Sentiment Challenge #83 - For the Boys

I took my oldest grandson to the National World War I museum last week. It was an amazing historical collection. There were realistic scenes with audio that represented the hardships of the war for soldiers. I thought about that when I chose the image and sentiment about courage for this card. This week at The Perfect Sentiment Challenge we are honoring males again with this challenge:

CREATE A CARD WITH A MASCULINE THEME. YOUR CARD CAN BE FOR A BIG BOY OR A LITTLE ONE. DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE A SENTIMENT ON THE FRONT.

Our sponsor is Beccy's Place. Beccy will provide 3 of her digis to one lucky winner.


The sentiment Beccy included with this digi stamp says:

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." by Ambrose Redmoon.

I printed my image twice. Once on cream cardstock for the background and again on white, which I colored and fussy cut so I could glue it in place. I used gray Copic markers W1, N0, N2, and N4. The masculine paper is from Echo Park's This & That collection. I added some Close To My Heart hemp and self-adhesive Square Pewter Durables, which are quite masculine and match the top paper.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you'll share your own masculine card with us this week.
