Hi Stamping Friends!

Today's project is what i would consider a classic masculine card! It's dark, neutral colors and bold, wildlife image combine to make the perfect Father's Day or birthday card for the nature-loving man. Our Too Cool Demo Team got to make this card courtesy of Kathe Madsen at our masculine shoebox swap!

Background Basics—Kathe started the card with a deep, rich Early Espresso card base, then we added another 4" x 5-1/4" layer of Early Espresso over the top that's embossed with the Argyle Texture Impressions Folder.

Magnificent Moose—The beautiful moose image from the Walk In The Wild set was stamped in VersaMark, then embossed with Early Espresso Embossing Powder. The edges of the 2-5/8" square Whisper White card stock were sponged with Early Espresso, too.

Marvelous Matting—Next, we matted the image onto 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" Gold Foil for a stunning, shiny border that completely makes the card. The final mat is a 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" contrasting layer of Basic Black. The whole focal point is popped up with Dimensionals. Isn't it striking?!

Sentiment—Kathe had us finish off the card with an elegant sentiment from the Wetlands set, also stamped in VersaMark, embossed and sponged with Early Espresso.

We used the tag shape from the Circle Card Thinlits to die-cut the greeting to the perfect size, then popped it up with more Dimensionals. It's a fantastic card that's quick & easy!

Lovely job on this card, Kathe! Thanks so much for bringing it for us to make!
