This card came together quite quickly if you take out the drying time!

To get started I used Distress Watercolor Cardstock and Distress Oxide Inks to create a background for my die cut.

I splattered and and created color splotches on my background using the following colors:

Candied Apple

Carved Pumpkin

Squeezed Lemonade

Twisted Citron

Mowed Lawn

Salty Ocean

Wilted Violet

Here is a list of supplies used to create this card:

Painted Greetings (ALT)

Leaf Canopy (ALT)

Leaf Canopy Dies (ALT)

Classy Stripes Stencil (ALT)

Sponge Dauber

Versamark Ink

Clear Embossing Powder

Lawn Fawn Glue Tube

Foam Squares

Inks:

Arctic (ALT)

Olive (ALT)

Firebrick (ALT)

Pure Graphite (ALT)

Jet Black Ink Spray (ALT

To begin I created a background using the Classy Stripes Stencil and Arctic ink. I wanted to keep the center light so I began inking at the edges and lightened the pressure as I went towards the center.

I used my favorite Leaf Canopy stamps with Firebrick and Olive Ink. The ink was applied randomly on the stamp and spritzed with clear water then stamped onto the cardstock. I repeated this step until I was happy with the color. I really love the texture that was achieved.

The leaves were die cut with the Leaf Copy Dies and mounted onto my stenciled background with a combination of glue and foam adhesive. 

Finally, the sentiment was stamped from the Painted Greetings stamps and heat embossed. 

The only embellishment needed was some splatter from Altenew Jet Black Ink Spray and my card is finished!

So, what do you think? Would you give this card to your favorite masculine friend?

This is almost a one layer card, except I used a card stock panel and added it to card base.

For this card I started by stamping the base flower from Altenew's Sophisticated Wreath stamps. I chose the lightest shade of purple for the first layer. I created a few masks so that I could stamp across the card panel. To do this quickly I chose several sheets of Post Its and stamped my image once. I fussy-cut the image once by keeping all the layers of Post its together. The result was that I had several masks from one stamping.

I continued stamping my base layer across the top and bottom of the card panel. Using my masks I stamped the second layer with the darker ink.

Instead of using the last layer for the flower centers I used a Versmarker to add sticky ink and gold embossing powder.  I heat set it and moved on to the sentiment.

I chose to do some selective stamping for my sentiment. I heat embossed the Wonderful with gold embossing powder and stamped the rest of the sentiment in Deep Iris Ink.

Once all of my stamping and heat embossing was complete, I added my card panel to my card base.

Super simple but elegant!
