Wetlands Birthday

Whipped this card up really quickly before I left for work this morning. I love the Wetlands stamp set and needed a masculine birthday card. Really like the way the background paper turned out. I inked one side of the embossing folder and then inserted very vanilla paper and ran it through the Big Shot. Wanted a card that was simple and quick yet elegant, therefore, I used the Try Stamping on Tuesday sketch for the week.

Paper: Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke

Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Early Espresso

Accessories: Soft Suede Polka Dotted Ribbon, Starburst Framelit Dies,  Wood Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Circles Diecuts, Small oval punch, Dimensional.

Thanks for looking and leaving any comments. They are much appreciated.

I was busy today making 4 sets of masculine cards for gifts, OWH, etc. I pulled out a couple of stamp sets I like and a DSP package. I have a hard time making masculine cards to had to search the SCS galleries and some pinterest to get a couple of ideas, then I went back to the Splitcoaststampers sketches and it hit me.

The above are three of the five cards I met for each set. The other two use the Seahorse and the Fish from the By the Tide stamp set also. They were Not Quite Navy and Cherry Cobbler from the same DSP.
