PP507~ Rustic Retreat, Masculine Card

I was thrilled to have another Etsy order.  So I worked to get

that ready for my husband to mail for me.  Afterwards it was 

time to make a card.  So I chose this challenge to play along with:

The Paper Players

  

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Rustic Retreat  

I used the stitched dies for the squares, and after cutting the ribbon,

I used dimensionals to layer the little square with the buck. 

I finally clued in to add a bit of tape to the back of the ribbon so it would

stop fraying.  I got so excited to make this masculine card that I 

forgot to add a Happy Birthday to the inside. 

I added one of my favorite wooden pine decorations, 

  for a little background prop.  I'm not very good at 

 the photo props, but this seemed to work out pretty good today. 

I'm sharing a couple pictures of this sunflower in my yard, it has so many blooms.

I think it's delightfully beautiful. 

   

  Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
