Great Outdoors

Western

In response to a Western Challenge

I made some simple cards

Thinking that would most

appeal to that age group

15 - 21 male

More Masculine Cards

Masculine

Patriotic

Starting to use the stamps.

I'm still partial to my foam shapes, though.

Especially good soldier themes?

Masculine

For the boys, I tried to make

rugged, brown and beige schemes.

I drew a starfish with coloured pencils

and then added a little texture

to the background of the main part of the card.

Buttons, old cotton strips from a shopping bag.

That's supposed to be a pinecone.

Here, I used a magazine picture:

Both the jeep and the background

are done in coloured pencils.

Another variation, using the same materials.

I especially like doing ones like these

to send for our soldiers to use,
