After I gave up trying to make a card, yesterday, I put some thought into what I wanted to do. I had made a manly card once before using these colors. I decided I wanted to use those same colors again, just with a different stamp set and design.
This card will be going to my son-in-law for his 21st birthday. I will have to get it into the mail very quickly because it has to travel to Wyoming by Tuesday.
You can't really tell in this picture, but I cut the middle tree out and added dimensionals behind it to make it stand out. I am pleased with how this card turned out. What do you think? You can leave me a comment at the bottom of this post.Recipe for this card: Stampin' Up! supplies
Stamp sets: lovely as a tree and teeny tiny wishes
Ink: bravo burgundy, really rust, and chocolate chip
Cardstock: bordering blue, bravo burgundy, mellow moss, really rust, and very vanilla

I hope you are inspired by seeing this card to get your stamps out and create something also.
Now go-n-stamp!!

Fabulous card Chris! Reminds me of fall back East! I am sure your brother-in-law will cherish this card! :) TFS
Isn't this such a wonderful set? Masculine cards are so hard to design for me. This is a great example that I'm sure many people will appreciate...especially your BIL!!
One of my all time favorite stamp sets! This is a lovely card!
this is just gorgeous! I think that masculine cards can be BEAUTIFUL even if they are manly!
This is so perfectly masculine - love the warm colors and the manly hardware (jumbo eyelets).
I love how this card came out! Nice fall colors and a real masculine feel. Great job!
