Starving Artistamps Cards

I made 2 cards tonight using my Starving Artistamps stamps. I didn't start out trying to make a "manly card" but I think this one would be great for a man. The matted piece on the left of the card is some homemade designer paper made by Tracey at Starving Artistamps. Isn't it gorgeous? I stamped the outline leaves on the tree then stamped the corresponding inside of the leaves with 2 different colors and I stamped outside of the outlines. I like the way it turned out. Used more of those new Dew Drops too.

I enjoyed coloring the grapes on this card with my new Copics. I have really been working on getting the blending of the colors right and I'm happy with how this one turned out. It's a bright and fun card.
