Card: Urban Underground


handmade cards, paper crafts, paper crafting, Stampin' Up!, rubber stamping, die cutting

From the moment I saw this Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up! I loved it.  Masculine themed papers can be hard to find!  Black tends to be a favorite of mine and the addition of Delightful Dijon, one of the selections from the 2015-2017 In Color group, looks great with black.

I have this thing about leaves...
I love using them on cards and these open framework leaves are a perfect accent!  And that cute paperclip is just, well, cute. For the grey back ground I first lightly stamped honeycomb and post mark stamps before embossing it with the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder from Stampin' Up. You really have to see the embossing in person to appreciate it - the 3D effect is just spectacular. To finish off the embossing the surface was lightly inked to emphasize the hexagon design.
