It is hard to pick the right stamp for the masculine card.. For this card I decided to go with a newly released Palm Tree stamp from Hero Arts, KS401. I wanted my card to have a tropical feel.. The scenery background was created by sponging with Distress Inks and then I stamped the Palm Tree three times over it. Layers were cut with Nestabilites.
