I used the Stampin’ Up! Rooted in Nature stamp set to create a masculine thank you card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a sketch challenge this week and here is what I created for it.

Here is the sketch that we’re using this week:

I started by stamping the wood texture image from the Gallery Grunge stamp set in Soft Suede ink on a panel of Sahara Sand card stock twice.  Then I embossed the panel with the Subtle Embossing Folder.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Soft Suede card stock with SNAIL and then to a Pretty Peacock card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the branch images from the Rooted In Nature stamp set in Old Olive ink on a panel of Sahara Sand card stock four times and then cut them out with the coordinating Nature’s Roots Die.  I adhered the die cut branches with Glue Dots to the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from the Rooted in Nature stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock and then stamped the wood texture image over it without reinking.

I cut the sentiment out with a Stitched Shapes Die and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.  I added three of the 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots around the sentiment to finish the card front.

I stamped the edges of a panel of Very Vanilla card stock with the wood texture image from the Gallery Grunge stamp set in Soft Suede ink to finish the inside of the card.
