Hello there,
Anytime I need a manly card I turn to Stampin’ Up’s Nature Silhouettes stamp set, Item number 111542. I paired it up with the Stampin’ Up set Plant Hope and this is my result. I went with a very simple format with no frills. Frills are not usually appreciated by men anyway and the simple format brings the scene right into focus immediately. Hope you like it to.
Let’s get started. . . . . .
Supplies:
| Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Nature Silhouettes and Plant Hope |
| Paper: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Basic Black & Old Olive |
| Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and So Saffron |

Brayered Marina Mist ink at the top of a 3″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.
Masked the bottom of the card stock and stamped the tops of the pine trees using Marina mist on the card stock.
Removed the mask, using the edge of the So Saffron ink spot swiped the ink on the card stock bottom.
Using the edge of an Old Olive ink spot added some green at the top of the ground area.
Loaded the tree with Pumpkin Pie ink, dabbed on a bit of Cherry Cobbler ink at the top of the leafy area and the bottom of the grassy area, colored in the tree trunk with a Basic Black marker, huffed my breath on the stamp to moisten and then stamped the image on the left side of the card stock.
Using the Edge of an Old Olive ink spot created grasses at the bottom of the card stock.
Added White Gel Pen highlights to the leaves of the tree and grasses. Added a few grasses using the Old Olive marker.
Sponged the top left corner in with Marina Mist ink.
Stamped the Deer using Basic Black ink.
Distressed the edges of the card stock using Basic Black ink and a sponge.
Cut a Basic Black Panel 4.75″ x 6″ and then cut the bottom 2.5″ off. This gave me my two black panels.
Also cut a 5″ x6.5″ piece of Old Olive card stock and a 3.25″ piece of Old Olive.
Assembled my card and here it is finished measuring 5″ x 6.5″.
May your day be filled with people that love you.
Until my next post. . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
