Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Masculine Monday Gratitude Card: For all Things

Good morning!  What a crazy weekend, I don't think I stopped for more than a few minutes at a time but I was able to get lots of thinks crossed off my to do list (I love the feeling of crossing things off once they're complete, don't you?)  Today I'm sharing one of the cards I made this weekend.  Over on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog it's Masculine Monday and fit's always fun to see what the designers come up with for the "dudes" in our lives.  I also combined this with my 30-Day Gratitude challenge for a double bang.

The cardbase is Soft Suede and then I added a piece of Color Me Autumn Designers Series Paper (it really provided the color palate for the card.  I added another piece of DSP and matted it with Soft Suede cardstock before adding some Gold Baker's Twine.

For the greeting I took a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and stamped the Hardwood stamp in Crumb Cake.  The greeting is from the For all Things stamp set and I used Stampin' Write markers to color on the stamp.  Next I tore around the edges and then sponged with Crumb Cake ink so it really gave the look of a wooden plank.  I used a Soft Suede Candy Dot and some Linen Thread to make it look like the greeting is a plank hanging on the wall.

This card turned out so fun, I really like it!
