Manly Happy

Need a great card for a guy on the quick?  Check this one out:

©Stampin' UP!
Card stock:  Baked Brown Sugar*, Brushed Gold*, Early Espresso
Stamp:  Hardwood
Ink:  Early Espresso, Baked Brown Sugar*
Tools:  Hello You thinlits, Big Shot, Magnetic Platform
Etc: Neutrals Candy Dots, Stamping Sponges

Sponging tone-on-tone (here Baked Brown Sugar ink and card stock) adds depth brings out the richness of the "wood".  Don't have any of the *retired colors? How about swapping in with Soft Suede/ Crumb Cake+ So Saffron/ Hello Honey? Or any other combination of wood tones. The possibilities are endless.
