I hope everyone is having a fun weekend! Hopefully the fun can continue with you stamping along with the newest Paper Players challenge! Anne Marie has given us the true challenge of doing a Clean and Simple Masculine card! Sometimes those two kinds of card are hard enough on their own for me but for some reason putting them together I was able to make a card I was pretty pleased about without too many tears! :)
Isn't that the cutest graphic? Maybe that will be some inspiration for your project? I went with an understated masculine color combo with a classic leaf.
To bring in a bit of detail without adding busyness I stacked the main panel up on several other layers as well as used the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut the top panel.
The Gorgeous Leaves set has a really cool wood grain stamp which I used with Gray Granite ink to anchor my leaf against.
And to keep the card from being too dark and broody I added a Bumblebee twill knot to the leaf stem.
The Design Team always has some great inspiration for you!

Amanda, I love this beautiful and simple CAS. Your stamped background is the perfect textured look for your leaf. Hope you're having a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love the deep green and leaf detail with just a hint of pattern behind and that yellow ribbon tie adds a lovely pop of bright colour that makes your card really eye-catching. Love it!
