This ATC is magical! I love the effect of the layers on the grey background. I don't always reach for grey but Godelieve's creation has reminded me what a great neutral it can be! The green of the foliage of the plant adds an unexpected warm to her ATC. What a wonderful color combo for masculine cards.
Here is my take: I began by coloring white cardstock with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. I stamped this background with Hero Arts Envelope Pattern S5507 using Pumice Stone Distress Ink and I also stamped Hero Arts Dictionary Greetings CL479 using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. With both stamps, I removed part of the ink from the stamp using a baby wipe before stamping. Hero Arts Sillouette Fern K5314 was stamped using Faber-Castell Big Brush Markers in two shades of green and one shade of brown. I stamped the sentiment (Hero Arts Thank You For Being My Friend CL478) with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Finally, I added Walnut Stain Distress Ink to the edges of each piece of cardstock.
Thanks again for popping by! Wishing you all a great weekend--I'm excited to be teaching class tomorrow to a fun group of ladies at my LSS, including my mom who has just started stamping and is a total natural! :) HUGS!

Most fabulous background Jill! The fern stamp looks so good on it. A great masculine card indeed.
Thanks you so much for featuring my cards this week. I love your interpretations, it was a real treat.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments and for visiting my blog!
It is beautiful as are all your cards but I am wondering what kind of cardstock you use as a base? I have tried painting with my distress inks and they just "run" on the paper???
great card Jill.... your cards may have been inspired by some others, but are always stunning and very individual and they really inspire me as well. Thank you
Fantastic male card Jill, love the way you created the background, superb!
Totally, totally love your blog! It's so great to see what you do with the inspiration cards and I love being introduced to new artists. The only problem is where do I find the time to follow all their blogs. :)
Thanks!!!
