Today’s project is a masculine, thank you card, using the Painted Seasons stamp set. I added a video as an afterthought, if you’d like to see how I layered the “thanks.”

Masculine Thanks
My inspiration was the challenge at Fusion; the sketch, and the colors in the photo.
I began by stamping the flower from the Painted Seasons stamp set three times on Whisper White cardstock. Using Black ink, full strength for the first flower, and stamping off two times for the lighter shades.
The flowers have a die in the Four Seasons die set for cutting.
TIP: Find the largest petal to match with the die to speed up the cutting. Also, when you are stamping, stamp the flower in the same direction, so the large petal will be in the same spot.
There is also a pretty leaf in the set with a die to match. I stamped three of these in Black ink on Wood Textures DSP.

The colors in the Fusion photo helped me decide on a card base of Smoky Slate, topped with a piece of Wood Textures DSP, that I embossed with the Pinewood Planks folder.
To go along with the sketch, I used a piece of striped Neutrals 6X6 DSP for the banner. It’s a 2″ banner, easily made with the Banner Triple Punch.

I assembled my card, using glue and dimensionals, and attached the word, “thanks” from the Well Written die set.
Here is my early morning video:
