Best Wishes - In Wildness - Stampin' Queen's Challenge #40

I have been making a lot of masculine cards this week, and the card for the sketch challenge with Stampin' Queen's challenge #40 here is no exception.

Just a slight change from the sketch.  Seeing as my card is a masculine one I chose not to put a bow on it, but rather a piece of ribbon tied in a knot.

Stamps: In Wildness, Petite Wishes
Inks: Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy
Papers: Not Quite Navy, River Rock, Well Worn designer paper, Whisper White, Early Espresso
Accessories: Small oval punch, 1/2" denim ribbon, Square lattice embossing folder, dimensionals, Sizzlet buttons

In Wildness - Thinking of You - Technostamper #220

I'm so excited spring is here, but not excited that some of my favourite stamp sets are retiring.  I made today's card for the Monday Sketch Challenge with Technostamper #220 here using a retiring stamp set and retiring designer paper.

Stamps: In Wildness, For Father

Inks: Early Espresso

Papers: Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Mocha Morning specialty paper

Accessories: Houndtooth embossing folder, 2 1/2" circle punch, Modern Word Label Punch, Word Label Punch

I have used this stamp set for making masculine cards on many occasions - and that is one of the reasons I like it so much.

All the edges were sponged with Early Espresso ink to provide some distressing.

In Wildness Birthday - Stampin Queen's Sketch Challenge #25

I'm taking a break from making flowers, not that I'm tired of them, I just needed a masculine birthday card.
For this card I used the sketch  with Stampin Queen's Sketch Challenge #25 here

Here is the sketch:
