Masculine Card - Copic Challenge

I was browsing through some Copic sites and ended up at Copic Oz Challenge Site. They have a challenge once a month, which works great for me. Their challenge was to create a masculine card - All About Men. I used Theresa Momber's Farm Life set - Stamped this barn image and colored it with copics. I was totally Inspired by this card of Theresa using the same set.



I am always so impressed by Theresa's cards and how beautiful they are. So this is my first attempt at her Sponging technique and it is not the best, but still pretty good. :) I have to just create more to get better at it.

Thanks for stopping by,
Supplies:
Stamp - Farm life from GKD Designed by Theresa Momber
Paper - GKD White and Green CS, PTI Kraft CS
Ink - Memento Black, Memento Cantaloupe, Memento Potter's Clay and Memento Rich Cocoa
