Manly Monday Crackled Leaf Card

Edited May 2021. See sidebar for explanation.

For my card I used patterned paper by DCWV, cardstock by Oriental Trading Co and Recollections, stamps by Stamp N Plus and ink by Hero Arts. The leaf is a Spellbinders die cut which I used on chipboard. I then stamped the leaf with a background stamp, inked it up with my Ranger Industries distress ink and blender followed by covering it with Crackle paint Rock Candy also by Ranger Industries. 






This week's Manly Monday is stacking up to be totally awesome. I have had so many replies from bloggers who would love to have their cards showcased. I'm super excited for the variety we have in store for you and just the amazing-ness of these cards. Please be sure to leave these talented paper crafters a comment on their blogs. Thank you to all of them for the inspiration.

    Cindy, I love the cool texture on your leaf. I have a tough time coming up with Guy cards and tend to skimp on the details with these fellas because I am afraid I will "girly" them up too much. These cards are terrific, and I look forward to more Manly Monday posts to keep me inspired. Thank you SO much for sharing!! :)
