This is for the TLC110, Faux Shaving Cream. I needed a *guy card* for a friend who is an avid camper-hiker.
The technique is simple and fun: you ink up a solid stamp, then ink up a small stamp in a lighter color and *twist* it onto the big stamp, before stamping onto the cardstock. I used the technique on the trees and the bear. The grass stamp on the bottom is the same stamp that I used for the twisting on the larger stamps. I love the textural look that this produces.
I clear-embossed the bear, but otherwise left the card soft and quiet. It's very hard for me to keep my hands off the glitter!
Thanks for looking! Maddy

This has to be the coolest guy card I've seen! I love the cut out circle... it adds so much dimension to the card. The colors are great and I love the geese in the background! Oh, and I can't forget to mention how cool the bear is!
