I'm still kind of doing my own thing around here. I came up with this masculine card for my brother who has a house in the mountains. I thought he might enjoy the wildlife images.
I finally got to use my MS grass punch border - so fun. I love the diamond plate ef and weathered b/g stamp for masculine cards. I used a mixture of marina mist, early espresso and wild wasabi for my color combo. I don't think I've ever used wild wasabi b/f and was determined to tackle it.
The animals were colored, b/g sponged using circle punches and nesties and the sentiment was punched out with the wide oval punch and sponged. I used a thick piece of string that came off a pair of pants and crystal effects on the underpart of the bird.
That's it. I thank you for visiting and hope you have a wonderful week.

What a wonderful, masculine card, Pamzi! I love all of the nature accents. Great critters--and your punched grass ROCKS! Why do I not have that punch???? Pretty colors, too. Oh, and that string is pure genius as an embellishment. LOVE THIS!!
