Dear Ones~ 
I decided to go with a masculine card this time, I seem to struggle with them the most. I have had this die by Memory Box for a really long time, it's a real go-to for guy cards. I inlaid the "moon" in gold metallic card stock, and layered a different cattail die cut on top using gold metallic card stock. Photographing metallic paper is a nightmare, it's really pretty IRL. The fern background was made with a fern embossing folder using SU Soft Sea Foam card stock and highlighting it with SU Always Artichoke Ink. Diamond Stickles on the cattails.
It's a new month, and time for a new challenge over at A Cut Above Challenge Blog.

a die cut. However once in awhile we will throw in a theme for you, or

goes.

This is a stunner Judy! So many wonderful details and beautiful colors. That moon is amazing and makes a perfect backdrop for the sparkly cattails. A scene from the lakeside in a quiet fishing spot! Thanks for your Creative Team inspiration for A Cut Above.
