Monthly Moments Trading Cards -- Masculine

Papertrey is introducing a new line called Monthly Moments for scrapbooking products.  Our challenge was to create a 3x4 trading card that could be used in a pocket page or placed onto a card.  I decided to make one feminine (see previous post) and one masculine scripture card.

For the masculine card I used a thin piece of balsa wood and stamped a tree image for the background.  The little scroll images in each corner are from the long forgotten set called Boxes, Bags and Tags.  I then used a thin black pen to draw the lines.  The sides look messy because of the way the ink soaked into the woodgrain.

A very classy masculine card Sara - the balsa wood is such a great idea and I love the soft stamping in the background.
It's good to see you in blogland again - Sylvia xx

Oh, I love the soft trees in the background, and your scrolled corners! It sets off the scripture beautifully!
