Masculine Fall

I have had this stamp since last year, my local stamp store was having 40% sale so I picked it up.  I decided to make my own background to stamp the leaves on using Distress inks.  Then I stamped the leaves and hand cut them out, using a kraft knife for the inner parts.  Added a little twine and metal accents, my go to for male cards. Placing it all on a wood background.


Northwoods Rubber stamps- 2010 leaves
Distress inks - Carved pumpkin, peeled paint and abandoned coral
Colorbok - Homespun paper
Twine
Ki - Bronze Accents

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

    Northwoods stamps are large and beautiful and this one is certainly gorgeous! Nice cutting, Connie! I love wood grain for any card any time, and with the leaves, metal accents, twine, and simple design it's a perfect masculine card!
