Team Swap Card

This week has had a decidedly Fall-like theme, which is perfect, given the weather in these parts.  Definitely feeling - and looking - like Fall!
One of the things I look forward to at my monthly team meetings is our team swap.  This month's theme was masculine cards...did you just do a groan?  Why is it so many of us have such trouble creating cards for the men in our lives??  I actually love making Man-cards!  It's fun to pull out my non-flower stamps once in a while!  Here is the card I made for our swap:

Man-card featuring the Maginificent Maple  and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets.

This was easier than it looks...it had to be - I made a bunch of them!  Here's the how-to:

• I started by stamping the Magnificent Maple image in Cajun Craze on Naturals Ivory card stock.  Then I used my blender pen and Cherry Cobble ink to blend the colours in the leaf.  
• I stamped one of the spatter images from Gorgeous Grunge in Early Espresso ink.
• I pierced the circles using the Essentials Paper Piercing template.
• I added a bit of Burlap ribbon, securing it with two brads from the Antique Trinkets.

Easy peasy!
