Encircled in Nature Masculine card

Check out this gorgeous tree card!
I love the way it turned out.
 
Change the words & this card would be a great
birthday card or sympathy card too!
 
This is one of the cards that everyone stamping with me at my
June monthly classes will be making.

I used the-
#163269- Encircled in Nature Bundle= $54.00- on SALE 10% off= $48.60 
Notice the flecks in the sky?
I made them by flicking my Night of Navy Stampin' Blend. 
 
Notice how I shadow stamped the cluster of trees?
Just stamp them once, lift & stamp again without reinking your stamp.

For some added contrast I stamped the tree onto the DSP
& then die cut it.
