MASCULINE CARD

One of the themes for the April Hero Arts challenge is to make masculine cards.  Here is a card I made:


Pretty much a one layer card, except for the small accent strip along the bottom.  The background was created on white cardstock using distress inks - scattered straw, tea dye, wild honey, rusty hinge and walnut stain.  The leaf clusters and sentiment were stamped in brown ink.  The pp strip was cut from one of the striped papers in the Hello Luscious paper pad.  I added some "dew drops" to a few of the leaves and around the image using glossy accents. 

TFL!
