Brave, Strong, Loved

The sentiment I used on this card is one of my favorite ones and is from the Rustic Retreat stamp set.  For this card, I paired it with some designer series paper from the Woven threads collection and added a piece of Crumb Cake card stock embossed with the Eyelet lace folder behind that.

There is part of a pearlized doily behind the die cut sentiment layers - I have found I like to cut these doilies in half for a lot of projects...

Rustic Retreat

I decided to pair the Rustic Retreat stamp set with the retired Wood Textures designer series paper for a few masculine birthday cards recently.

I used my Stampin' Blends to color in the background scenery and deer image before mounting it on some Basic Black card stock and adding it to the designer series paper and card base.

Rustic Retreat

Memento Black ink
