Lovely as a Tree Buffalo Check

One thing I love about Stampin' Up! is how on trend each catalog offering is, especially, when the trend I'm noticing is one I love. This card uses the Buffalo Check background stamp, which just makes me want to curl up in my own buffalo check fleece! 

I went with traditional black and red with this card--Real Red and Basic Black. I just inked up the background heavily with Stazon Jet Black and then layered that piece on a Real Red base. I added Basic Black Matte layer between the tree focal point and the base. I went with the very first stamp set I ever bought- Lovely as a Tree for this card.  I just love this spruce. I embossed with Whisper White Embossing Powder. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings. The black ribbon is the 1/2" Basic Black Satin ribbon.

All in all, I think it's a very masculine card--perfect for giving for winter birthdays. (or dads who love flannel). Plus, it was quick and easy! 

Happy Stamping!
