Welcome
I was inspired to make this masculine card from a combination of various cards on Pinterest using inchies. There are also elements from a technique in a magazine I recently read.

I started with the inchies, blotting them onto a distress ink pad for background colour, then overstamping them with small leaves, also in distress inks.
They were mounted onto the dark brown card to frame them, and adhered to the card with foam squares for a hint of dimension.
I stamped the sentiment in dark brown ink and clear embossed it.
The final detail were the two groups of three scored lines.
