For my card, I stamped and water colored both of the images ( Light of Life and Sweet Friendship) and used my out of the box Nestie technique to die cut it using a Spellbinders labels 18. I added an extra cut out lantern on top of the base image for a little dimension. On the frame, I cut the inside out and attached the quote (from Spread Light) behind it.
The top background was done with a Cuttlebug distressed stripe embossing folder. I inked the top side of the folder using the Memento inks before I ran it through the Grand Calibur. On the bottom, I stamped the Honeycomb Background on the dk brown c/s w/ the cocoa ink. It reminded me of chicken wire and I thought that would fit in w/ my rustic looking card. Two screw head brads complete the 4.25 x 5.50 card.

I love all your fabulous details, Julie! awesome water coloring and out of box image!! perfect ef too…I have some of those screw brads, why don’t I use them!!!
Love the sentiment on this beauty! Fantastic coloring and details too!!
LOVE this! So woodsy and nice.
Love every single element on this fabulous rustic creation! It would make a great masculine card!
A fabulous card! That is one of my fave CB folders. I love the rustic feel of this! Thanks for sharing.
Love the out door, up north, effect on this card. It’s so woodsy. Living in the woodsy boonies in Northern Michigan, it just brings me home!
Great rustic card. All the little touches work well to create the finished effect. I like the out of the box nestie technique – I cased the idea for some of my Christmas cards last Dec.
love the embossing! great card 🙂
I love the rustic masculine look of this card. All of the texture and the different backgrounds are just fantastic. I have to admit, I had to read the description to figure out that there was a honeycomb background stamp. It’s subtle but it absolutely works!
Like how you used Label 18 behind the lantern with the background. Lovely coloring and great rustic look, I like the EF you used, with the little screw brads….great touch.
VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!! PERFECTLY DONE!!!!!!!!!! AND the verse is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m also LOVING the embossed background! 🙂 SUPER JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another neat neat card. I have to have this set for some masculine cards. So an inspiration!
Great card. I love the rustic effects.
I do love that lantern image! It reminds me of camping…
Your card overall and with the message you chose showcases the lantern beautifully. REALLY NICE card!
This is a great card! I love how you used the embossed background to create a log cabin effect. I also think it’s really cool to see how you and Dawn chose the same set for this blog hop but your end result was so different. What a beautiful example of how versatile just one single stamp set can be.
The combination of stamps, colours, texture and embellishments are amazing. Great masculine card!
What a wonderful set for making masculine cards. Wonderful coloring.
This is a great manly man card. Thanks for sharing this because it is so difficult to come up with ideas for those guys. You did a wonderful job and I like this card a lot.
Great masculine card!! Beautiful job of water coloring!
Wonderful card! I’m really liking this lantern image! You’ve used so many great techniques in this card! The cuttlebug idea for the texture in the wood is just super!
Julie, oh my, you have done it again!! There is so much beauty in this card from the BG almost looking like an old barn or shed to the amazing detail in coloring the lantern…..LOVE it! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
New to this blog and I must say, I like your masculine type of card and will probably be back to scraplift some ideas. Thanks for sharing.

So wonderfully done. I love the stamp set and how you gave your card the distressed look.

Wonderful card design!
I love your background panel and the out-of-the-box design.
Love the card- the watercolors were a great choice for coloring the stamps.
Love this quote, it is my favorite of the new group! Love the masculineness of the card too! And your coloring is great!
Beautiful card. I love how you used water colors to do the coloring of this card. I must look into your out of the box technique. I’m always looking to learn something new. 🙂
WHat a sweet card to match a wonderful sentiment!
This is so effective; love how the distressed stripes look like
log cabin walls, and your interpretation of the ODBD stamp is
so appropriate and lovely!
Very masculine, which what I have trouble with when I make cards, this is a great card.
The unusable colors are refreshing and great.
I also like the cuttlebug folder used.
I really love your card. So far it is my favorite.
Have a great day.
