Lawn Mowing Time!

                                     The Male Room Challenge #136 - In The Garden
Hello friends, it's time for another challenge here at The Male Room. I hope this challenge is very apt as we have somehow found lots of free time in our hands during this lockdown, that some form of gardening must be one of those activities you have found yourself engaging in.
Hope you will join us in creating your masculine projects with a garden feel. For my card, I started off by stamping the image from Art Impressions the Lawn Ranger set into x-press it blending card with memento tuxedo black ink. I coloured my image with copic markers. Then I started sketching a scene of a garden with some inspiration from google images to help me. I remember some tips from Amy Young about having foreground and background images, varying these in size and colour (foreground images are bigger and darker as these are closer to the viewer).
 I love how it has turned out.  Hope you like it too. Copic colours I have used for the card are listed below.
Please welcome the talented Martina, who is guest designing with us for this challenge. And hope you check out what the rest of the DT has come up with. Thank you for stopping by and hope you join us for this challenge.
