Autumn Days

November 2, 2009 By Connie | 7 Comments

This card is a combination of a couple challenges.  The Late Night Stampers Make a Masculine Card Challenge and Mary Jo's, Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.

Here is Mary Jo's sketch.  And below is my Masculine Card for LNS using her sketch.

I started with a base of Soft Suede cardstock.  I added a piece of the woodgrain pattern in Autumn Meadows Designer Series Paper pack.  I used a strip of Really Rust cardstock for the punched scallop edge.

For my focal piece, I stamped the Pheasant from Stampin' Up!'s Autumn Days stamp set in Versamark and then Soft Suede Classic ink and stamped it on Whisper White cardstock.  It was then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  I sponged Really Rust Classic Ink along the bottom.  I punched a 1 1/4 circle from xerox paper and temporarily placed it in the upper left corner as a mask.  I sponged Summer Sun Classic Ink around the top portion, removed the mask and lightly added a little more Summer Sun and Really Rust Classic Inks.  I stamped the grass from Autumn Days in Soft Suede, also stamping off once for a lighter dimensional look.  I layered this on Really Rust cardstock.  I stamped the small leaves from Autumn Days in Soft Suede on Soft Suede cardstock and Really Rust on Summer Sun cardstock, then cut them out and adhered to the bottom left corner.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Teeny, Tiny Wishes in Chocolate Chip on Really Rust and punched it out with the Modern Label Tag and added two mini Gold brads on each side.  That is popped up with dimensionals.

I think this will be a nice Birthday Card for my father in law!  Enjoy the week!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    I just recently took on the task of making 75 birthday cards for our board members, who are almost all men. It’s been a struggle to make “boy” cards and so I can relate to what everyone else is going thru. Your card is great, thanks for the idea and pop by and visit me some time!

    Peace and Luv,
    Jeannie

    Connie, your card is so pretty!  Love the softness of all the colors but still very masculine.  Great for a guy!
