I was inspired by a card using stamped woodgrain on cardstock that was attached to a card front in strips with brads to represent building work. Sorry, I can't remember where or the designer. I needed to make a card for my Dad so I knew I wanted to use a woodgrain stamp - nothing says manly better than woodgrain. I was actually extremely tired (exhausted in fact) from my recent trip that after I inked the stamp, turned it over and placed it on the card stock I realised that I didn't possess the oomph to press down on the back of the stamp to leave the impression! Luckily I managed to complete the card in the end (probably because I kept it pretty simple - but still classy I hope).
In summary, this card is being entered in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Anything Goes. The details are here.
Southern Girls Challenge: Use A Punch Or Diecut. The details are here.
Materials:
Cardstock (Ormolu, Stampin' Up!), Ink (Stampin' Up!), Stamps (Stampin' Up!), Punch (Stampin' Up!), Corner Punch (W R Memory Keepers), Ribbon, Brads.

DeleteA classic beauty. The neutral colors are perfect for a masculine card. Great design too! Thank you for sharing your card with us this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. ~Michelle
ReplyDeleteThanks MichelleZ! Masculine cards are just that more difficult I find - but neutral works out fine!

Thanks Chris - yes, it is CAS and so quick to make (once I came up with the idea of where I was going with the woodgrain paper)
