I have used a white card blank for this card and layered on shades of brown.  The top layer has been punched with a Martha Stewart border punch that I have wanted for some time but hadn't been able to find it in a shop.  While on holiday I spotted this punch set (it also comes with a corner one) and had to have it!  The ribbon that I have used on this card is a satin ribbon from American Crafts.

The image is from Meljens Designs Studio, coloured with copic markers E47, E43, E31 and E25.   The star on the turtle is highlighted with some Glossy Accents. The star embellishment has been die-cut from the lighter coloured brown cardstock and then has crystallina Kindy Glitz added.  The other embellishments are clear rhinestones coloured with copic marker E47.

  9. Love the monochromatic effect of this card. Even though it has a bit of bling, it still feels manly.
