Masculine Thanks - Unscripted Sketches 117


A little stitching for detail

Per my previous post, a masculine card is in order. This time I looked to Unscripted Sketches for inspiration. I feel I get stuck using the same layout, so it is nice to challenge myself to try different sketches. I knew I wanted to pair Lovely as a Tree with the new DSP Well Worn the moment I saw the paper. I used linen thread for the accents to keep a natural feel to the card.

Stamps - Tiny Tags, Lovely as a Tree
Ink - early espresso, Stazon black, cajun craze, old olive, more mustard, chocolate chip, soft suede
Paper - Well Worn DSP, early espresso, old olive, cajun craze card stock, watercolor paper
Accessories - Circle punch, jewelry tag punch, linen thread, dimensionals, mat pack
