Happy Birthday - Masculine


Today's card is a masculine birthday card using the new stamp set, Plant Hope.  I colored the stamp with my Stampin' Write Markers to make the trunk brown and the needles green for a more realistic image.  Then I spritzed the Very Vanilla piece with Early Espresso.  Using my bone folder, I broke down the fibers of the Very Vanilla card stock and then crumpled the piece into a ball.  I tore the edges on three sides and then lightly sponged the entire piece with Crumb Cake.  The whole piece is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

For a more masculine feel, I added the jumbo eyelets and threaded my linen thread between the eyelets around five times.  For some additional texture, I zipped the Early Espresso piece through my Big Shot sandwiched in the Square Lattice embossing folder.
