Today I am going to show off my first Amber Inks creation. I wasn't sure about where I was going to go with this (since it was going to be a masculine creation that would have a subdued palette but still play off those hearts!). I really like how it came about though.Using Soft Suede CS (with one panel that included the digi wood grain BG), I used Pyrus paper (from Basic Grey) and the Mojo Monday sketch put up yesterday. I used up some twine and eyelets (since these seem just the thing for masculine cards) and punched my edges with my MS scallop three dot punch (I cannot wait till Friday when we have Cal-gals and Merlie enables me with all her punch purchases since I saw her last!).
Positive note of the day: Been having to go to bed with Ave each night so she does not have a meltdown (she has been getting so upset that she yacks...gross). So bad to be enabling her but she gets to sleep quickly and I have been getting an extra nap each day. I would rather get things done but at least I'm well rested!

Beautiful card and i love the sentiment!

What fun! Lovin' all that texture with the faux woodgrain and layers.
Love all the texture feel and layers! The stamp itself is so cute!
Totally love this. You did a fabulous job - I love Soft Suede. I'm glad you're laying down with Ave. It won't last for a lifetime, you know. Probably good for both of you.

This is wonderful, Allison! I love that you used the woodgrain background behind this fun mushroom image.
