Thinking of You - FabFriday #151

Masculine Cards are traditionally difficult to make, so for the sketch challenge with Fab Friday #501
I used several stamps to make  this  "Thinking of You" card.


The card base is Soft Suede which I embossed using the Rooted in Nature framelits (the leaves) and the Big Shot Embossing Mats.  The Whisper White art piece matted with Crumb cake card stock was adhered to this card front using dimensionals.

The art piece was created using the following:
  • Water - Bermuda Bay and Waterfront stamp set
  • Shore rocks - Soft Suede and Waterfront stamp set
  • Two trees - Rooted in Nature and Mossy Meadow ink
  • Sun - Waterfront Stamp set and Crushed Curry ink.

At the bottom of the Whisper White art piece I added 2 pieces of  3/8" Shimmer basic gray ribbon, with some 1/16" braided twine tied in a bow at the left edge.

The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede ink using Teeny Tiny wishes, & punched with the Classic Label punch.  Before adhering it to the art piece above the ribbons I sponged the edges with the same colored ink.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Waterfront, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Rooted in Nature
Inks:  Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry
Papers:  Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Accessories:  Rooted in Nature framelits, Big Shot Embossing mats, Classic Label Punch, 3/8" shimmer Basic Gray ribbon, Braided Twine
