Friends with Flair: Leafy Thanks

Here’s my card for this week’s Friends with Flair and the current All Things Unity challenge to add texture to your card. I was going for a masculine look with this clean and simple thank you card design.

I stamped the leafy branch image from the Thanks a Bunch Itty Bitty in Pear Tart ink on a green panel—love the tone on tone look! After rounding the panel’s edges, I attached it to a circle, die cut from a piece of cork paper. It adds lots of texture while keeping with the masculine look.

I wrapped some twine around the edge of an avocado green panel, then layered the cork circle on to the panel. I attached a button to the cardfront, tied with the same twine. The “thanks a bunch” sentiment is stamped in brown ink on a gold panel. It fit nicely in the open space under the leaf image.
