I love masculine stamps..........straight up and no ribbons, bling or lace, well, at least not on mine, lol!
I am sharing 2 cards from the new Hat's Off set today. My first card uses the biking stamp along with this scene from The Outpost and the sentiment from A Lovely Day. Remember, the Artistic Stamp sets combine to make so many different works of art. I masked and used distress inks, along with India ink.
I used the handsome, top hat gentlemen from Hat's Off, along with a stencil, embossing paste and crackle paste, colored with distressed inks. I stamped on tissue paper and applied to my stenciled background. Of course the steampunk is from the Steampunk set!

I love your cards! The one with the bicycles is my favorite. I really like seeing a mix of stamps from different sets. Thanks for sharing your talent with us to give us inspiration.
Lovely Gerri, I adore how you combined the AO images on your first card, and the second card's background is very striking and makes the perfect backdrop for the gentleman. Tracy x x
I love that you put the cyclist with the outpost! So gerrie! Hope you are doing well! Love the mixed media gentleman too!
A great combination of stamps for the first card, Gerrie (and my favorite), but love the vintage feel of both. And, yes, definitely masculine. Have fun hopping!
The first card is my favorite - I love how you combined the sets. I can see I will have to buy the cyclist stamp set!
I love both cards. The men biking on the outpost background is soooo appropriate! This is a great release!
love these stamps, and the masculine but fun feel with the techniques. Thank you for the inspiration
Love the bikers, GF! The pop of red from the Outpost is wonderful. The gentleman looks so cool with that textural background! Love them both!
