I saw this card on Pinterest by Rita's Creations - she made it as a sympathy card but I thought it was perfect for a masculine birthday! And it was an interesting way to make the stripes in the background.
I started with a piece of Vintage Cream cardstock. Using masking tape and Tim Holtz Distress inks, I rubbed the tape in light green ink and transferred it to the cardstock, placing it on an angle. I repeated the same technique with darker green ink for the second stripe. The trees and the sentiment are stamped in pine ink; I wanted this to be the darkest green and to match the card base.
The edges have Antique Linen ink around them and are distressed. I adhered the image to a Pinefeather cardstock card base and added jute around the spine.
