- The pheasant was inked in Soft Suede and stamped on Very Vanilla.
- I gave it a new dimension by snipping it out and adhering it with Stampin' Dimensionals to a Bermuda Bay rectangle of textured card stock (matted on Soft Suede).
- Perpendicular, I added another rectangle of Dusty Durango Textured card stock, also matted on Soft Suede.
- Three Very Vanilla Brads (Stampin' Up! Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware) complement the colorful panels. TIP: I used a Paper Piercer and Template to measure and space the holes for the brads. Neat and tidy that way 🙂
- The Very Vanilla panel was textured with a tr?s cool Texturz Plate and my Big Shot.
- The Very Vanilla card base is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and scored on the top.
- Dusty Durango card stock was cut 1/4" smaller than the card base and layered on top.
- The sentiment is from Celebrate Everything. It's inked and stamped on matching Soft Suede card stock.
- The Small Oval Punch reshapes the sentiment to fit below the Hodgepodge Vanilla Label Holder and Vanilla coordinating brads.
- TIP: I tucked a couple Stampin' Dimensionals below the sentiment to keep it in place while attaching the label holder. This helps it fill out the holder, too.
- TIP: The label holder and brads were attached to the Dusty Durango card stock before adhering to the card base. This way the brad "legs" are buried.
- My layout was inspired by this week's Splitcoast Sketch Challenge, SC233. Find all my favorite challenges linked on my left side bar.

Very different. I always think its hard to make a ‘guy’ card and keep that edgy touch.
This design is SO wonderful!! Have you thought about entering the clean simple design Wow contest that SU! is having this month? I think you’re a shoo-in! You should check it out…

WOW!!! This card rocks!!!!
Beautiful card – I think this set may make its way into my stamp room once I get the catty and see the full set. I need a fall set and this might fit the bill. The colors and layout are fantastic! I sure wish I lived out your way so I could attend your workshops and hope that your creativity rubs off on me. 🙂
Love all the great texture! The color combo sends this one out of the park! Even my 14 year son, not a fashion star by any means, is drawn to shades of orange in his shirts. Wicked cool!
What an awesome card. So simple yet so kick-ass. Can I say that here? A simple swap of the colors and stamp and it could be a just about any event card. How does everyone think it would work for a workshop project?
