Supplies: Paper - Bazzill A2 card; Michael's green;

Authentique Endless Collection 8x8
Embossing Folder - Sizzix 3D Textured Impressions Happy Birthday

I started with a 6x6 piece of heavyweight Neenah and applied the Uncharted Mariner direct to paper, going both ways on the paper for thick coverage. Dried with heat tool. Using a turnabout stencil with all four turns, I applied Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Twisted Citron and baby wipe. The baby wipe was the least successful - next time I'd use Picket Fence DI, I think. Dried between each layer & then die cut the panel to fit an A2 card. Embossed it with the Sizzix bday folder & ran Uncharted Mariner over the raised bits. It smudged some flat bits too so I spritzed the panel with water and smoothed the color where possible. You can see the glow of the stenciled dots through the embossed words - so great in real life!
Added my panel to an A2 card along with a strip of woodgrain patterned paper & the sentiment atop a circle. Decided to add some enamel dots to echo the dots in the stencil. My card will also go to Darnell's June NBUS Challenge since my stencil got first play today, along with my new ink - such a gorgeous color!
Thanks for visiting & enjoy your day!

Love the bright lime with the new Uncharted Mariner (managed to avoid typing Ancient Mariner then but it’s going to happen sometime, I’m sure!). Great masculine birthday card, Linda!
Fabulous colors and textures. Really like how you've matted and grounded the sentiment.
What a beautiful card! Love the colors you used.
What a fun technique and so pretty Linda, and the Uncharted Mariner DI packs a punch and is great as the dark colour for the background..having watched the Jennifer McGuire video. The word embossing folder works well too, and I love the added blue over the words, and the large sentiment finishes it perfectly. Thank you for joining in again over at the NBUS Challenge. x
Fabulous card. Love the colours on the embossed panel. Thanks for joining the fun at Let's Squash It! Hugz
Great masculine card. Well done on the technique. Still need to get this new DI colour.
This is interesting and very clever, lots of texture in that background. That new distress colour is pretty special. I don't know how you manage to enter challenges 3 times, I can't even manage one! xx
Great background, this is terrific!
Another fabulous card, Linda.
It's really a great effect. I work far too little with embossing folders, I absolutely have to change that.
Linda, I love this card! I am always looking for good ideas for masculine cards. I love the background, and how you used the circle and the cut out sentiment to make the message pop. I'm going to pin this on one of my Pinterest boards! :)
Great guy card, Linda! Maybe I DO need that new color--haha!
I love that background-what a fun technique!
Fabulous card Linda. LOVE the colours and design of your amazing background. Will have to check out Jennifer's video! xx
