I cannot take credit for this card's design. It has been entirely copied off of a creation from Teneale Williams, one of my favorite stampers. Teneale has an amazing eye for design and details and wonderful craftsmanship. We were lucky to have her on board on the Inkspirations DT and I have been following her on her blog ever since.
This is one of her wonderful creations I had kept in my inspiration folder and the last time I needed a masculine card quickly, I decided to channel Teneale. I particularly liked how she had taken an old stamp set (Lovely as a Tree) we have already seen used time and time again and breathed new life into it. I inked it with markers and used an Aquapainter brush to blend the colours a little bit. The Always Artichoke also looks great paired with Vanilla and Chocolate Chip.
The striped paper comes from an older pack called Holiday Harmony and the newsprint paper from from the First Edition pack. Everything was inked for a shabby look and I used two pieces of twill side by side to create a wider ribbon, held in place with a Big Designer button (currently available in the Clearance Rack) and a piece of linen thread.
