This is a card I made for my great-uncle's 80th birthday. He refused to have a party, so family and friends inundated him with birthday cards instead. I have a hard time making masculine cards to begin with, and then what do I do for someone who is 80???? I bought this set, but had never even mounted the stamps, so I figured it was time to mount them and get them all inked up! I used Always Artichoke, Baroque Burgundy and So Saffron. I took the leaf stamp and inked it first with So Saffron and then rocked the stamp in Always Artichoke and Baroque Burgundy. I had never tried this technique before, but I think it turned out quite well, if I do say so myself! :) The ribbon is from the ribbon share that Emily Giovanni had from Stamping & Stuff. Not too bad for a card that I had less than 10 minutes to do. I'll have to keep this one in mind for the future.
Hope you are all enjoying your day! Thanks for stopping by.
