This is one of the cards I made, this one went to my Brother Steve.
I started out with some Penny Black Script foil paper and stamped a Magenta leaf branch (sorry no name on the package) using Archival ink - potting soil. I then added a couple of strips of washi tape (Tim Holtz Ideo-ology tape) along the bottom, then adhered this to some dark brown c/s.
For the copper background, I used some copper shimmer c/s and Creative Expressions Diamond Illusions embossing folder.
The sentiment is from Penny Black - Smile Today set - stamped onto some cream c/s, cut using Spellbinders Hexagon die and then I sponged (using my brushes, similar to Picket Fence life changing brushes - bought mine from Aliexpress - and I love them, they blend so perfectly) potting soil ink around the edges, adhered to brown c/s and then added some diamond copper brads. I added some craft foam behind the sentiment for some dimension, and ran a piece of ribbon behind.
I ended up making 2 of these cards, one for my stash.
Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

This is definitely worth having a spare in your stash! It's gorgeous! I was just saying to someone how much I love brown. I know, sounds like an odd color to love, but I do. You made this masculine card as artfully as you make any of your feminine cards. In fact, you always make the best masculine cards. I can think of one in particular that's always stuck with me. I believe I pinned it and, frankly, I rarely remember to pin. I'm going to pin this one right now... if my laptop will let me. It has some quirks. That's what I get for going cheap.
Nope, it wouldn't let me pin. Maybe later on my desk top. BTW, love my blending brushes, too. They do such a flawless, gentle job of it. Also, love the embossed copper background.
It's terrific! I love how you stamped on the paper and added the washi tape. Great sentiment too! Have a lovely day my friend!
