This masculine card is 5"x7." I used brown cardstock for the card base. The script patterned background paper is from the Tattered Time Stack by DCWV. It is cut at 4"x7." The coffee cup is cut from Designer's Calendar at 3." I adhered it to a 3 1/2"x4 1/2" piece of light brown cardstock that I embossed with the Script Texture folder and my Cuttlebug. I matted the light brown cardstock with some dark brown cardstock which is cut 1/8" larger. I stamped my sentiment, using jumbo java ink by Tsukineko, on some light brown cardstock. I then heat embossed it with some shimmery clear embossing powder. The stamp is one I got in the dollar bin at Michael's. I matted the sentiment with some dark brown cardstock and then some pink cardstock, both 1/8" larger than the previous layer. I finished off the card with three pale pink pearls.
