Birch and leaves - A masculine card

My brief for myself today was to use the Birch stamp and to make a quick, easy and masculine card.  Here's the result.

A masculine card - suitable for most occasions.
It features the Birch stamp and foliage cut with Seasonal Layers and Nature's Roots dies

The base card is Sahara Sand with a layer of Early Espresso.  The card front is Soft Suede, stamped with the Birch image using White Craft ink which I softened a little by applying more white ink with a sponge brayer.

The greeting is from the Colourful Seasons stamp set, stamped with Early Espresso ink onto Old Olive cardstock.  I used the Layering Ovals dies to cut out both the sentiment and the Mossy Meadow layer beneath it.

The foliage is cut from scraps of Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso cardstock using dies from the Seasonal Layers and Nature's Roots sets.

I only coloured the smallest leaf.  It's cut from Crushed Curry cardstock and sponged with Cajun Craze.  I drew on the veins with a Cajun Craze Stampin' Write Marker.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!
