A Couple More Masculine Cards

This new stamp set really is SIMPLE!! Thus the name--PLANE & SIMPLE!!!
Above card is made using Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, and Not Quite Navy cardstock
Images stamped in Black Stazon and water colored a bit using Crumb Cake ink and a blender pen. Sponge the edges, add some ribbon--and you are done! SIMPLE

This card is probably even easier! Cardstock is Basic Gray, Basic Black, and white Naturals.
Images stamped in Basic Black.
Add a little piece of Designer Series Paper (from the neutrals collection) and a couple of brads--and you are done!
