I just love this new collection-although I seem to be saying this with every new collection release! This collection is awesome for those so hard masculine layouts and cards. I really enjoyed working on this masculine layout and you know I don't say this often!
I distressed all the layers to give them a worn and old look (perfect for guy pictures!). Above are two close ups of the layout where you can really see the distressing. This being a masculine layout, however, did not stop me from using lace and flowers.
I made the flowers using the cardboard box where the new set came in! i love recycling this way!
Here's another close up of the flowers. I used acrylic paint to distress them a bit and added buttons for the center to keep them more masculine.
I added a 'rope' embellie (hemp cord wrapped around my hand 3 times with a know to hold it together) and felt blue boots.
I also used cardboard for the background. I stamped and colored with distress ink the birch tree (Vintage Photo and Peeled Paint). I love this watercolor look!

Finally, for my title, I stamped the background word stamp My Guy Precut Set and cut out the words My Guy and matted them on brown cardstock.
Here is the step by step write-up for this layout:
Randomly stamp the dust image from the Western Bronco Precut Set on the polka dot pattern paper using brown ink. Distress with a pair of scissors the edges of the pattern paper, make random tears, and use brown ink with the blending tool to age the paper. Do the same thing with the blue pattern paper which measures 10”x10”. Glue the polka dot paper unto a black cardstock and place the blue pattern paper in the center. Take a cardboard and tear out a piece. Also, using the Shapeabilities Rose Creations, die cut one of the second largest, two of each size down from the cardboard. Using acrylic paint in white and cream as well as Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain distress ink, distress the cardboard background shape and flowers until you are happy with them. Adhere the torn cardboard to the background off center. Build your flowers by layering the two largest ones and keeping the other ones as a single layer. Fold the petals inwards to give them shape. Finish them by adding a button with a hemp cord knot in each of their centers. Stamp the birch tree and color using Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo distress ink and the blending tool. You do not want it to look perfect but you are going for a rustic and old look. Fuzzy cut and adhere the tree unto the background. Mat your pictures unto a cream colored, distressed photo mat and add to layout, as shown. Add a piece of lace under the pictures. Stamp and die cut two horseshoes, distress, and add in each side of the lace. For the cluster, stamp and die cut a pair of boots from blue felt. Roll a piece of hemp rope around your hand 3 times and make a knot to secure it. Die cut a few green leaves and mold them with your fingers to give them shape and dimension. Adhere the flowers, leaves, rope, and boots to the corner of the picture as shown. Finally, stamp the My Guy Precut Set on cream cardstock. Cut out the words MY and GUY, mat unto brown cardstock and lightly distress them with the blending tool to give them an aged look. Pop dot these two words and add to the top right side of the picture.
