The card that I’ve created is for a customer who has placed an order with my hubby's company which is a hamper business called YV Hampers (Facebook Page). I make the cards for the hampers, we source produce from the Yarra Valley, Victoria and sell as Gourmet Premium Hampers. 

The request was for a “Thinking of you” masculine card, so I had chosen the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and Nature’s Roots Dies this suits both feminine and masculine cards. The following colours are Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

The card base is Pretty Peacock stamped with the leaf stamp in the same colour and the gorgeous gingham DSP also in Pretty Peacock.

The next layer is Crumb Cake Cardstock stamped with the coordinating Ink using the Rooted In Nature leaf stamps. The Subtle 3D Embossing Folder creates a subtle impression onto paper giving it a unique effect. To give the piece of Subtle Cardstock an old look I’ve used my Paper Snips, ran the edges with the blade and then sponged Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Ink.  

The Crumb Cake tree trunk also has been sponged with both Crumb Cake and Early Espresso Inks. I like to add copper to the trio of colours using Copper Stampin’ Embossing Powder and Copper Trim which is a loose weave metallic trim. 

The Linen Thread has been coloured in using the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend this gave the Thread a darker look against the Crumb Cake Cardstock.

I added three Pretty Peacock textured leaves sponged also in the same coordinating Ink. The greeting Thinking of You has been stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Crumb Cake Cardstock and fussy cut out with the Paper Snips.

When layering up my cards I always like to add layers with Stampin' Dimensionals.
