Amber Autumn - Grateful For You

Hello Stampers,

For today's card, I was looking to make a masculine looking card to go with the die-cut I started days ago. Do you have a hard time with masculine type cards like I do?

I found a card template from Jackie Bolhuis that I though would be a good layout for what I wanted. I started the card by stamping the acorn stamp from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock, coloring it with Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie & Early Espresso Stampin' Blends Combo Packs before die-cutting it out. I started building my card with a Very Vanilla Cardstock base followed by a layer of Autumn Toile DSP. The next 2 layers were Pecan Pie Cardstock that I stamped the acorn stamp all over using Early Espresso Ink, then layered it on top of a Mossy Meadow Cardstock layer. For the circle, I used Early Espresso Cardstock with the 2 3/8" Circle Punch before embossing it with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, then layering my die-cut piece on top of that. For the sentiment, I used one from the set stamping it on Very Vanilla Cardstock with Early Espresso Ink then using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it off the card. Finally, I finished the card using Neutral Sequins.

~Thanks for stopping by!
