Celebrate- Sketch Saturday

Hi all! I'm back with a card to share today! I needed a masculine card and was feeling no inspiration until I saw this sketch from Sketch Saturday:

I started by running a piece of kraft cardstock through a wood grain embossing folder. I love the texture of this folder! Then I stamped the ram on a circle of white cardstock. I also stamped several leaves. I colored them all with watercolor pencils and then blended the colors with a water brush. Once that was dry, I stamped the sentiment on the circle and fussy cut the leaves. I wanted another layer below my ram picture, so I pulled out some dark brown mulberry paper (remember that stuff?). To get the perfect circle, I laid the stamped circle onto the paper and then, using a water brush, I drew a larger circle on the mulberry paper. That made ripping the paper easy. Then I just adheared the stamped circle to the mulberry paper and the cut out leaves on top. To finish off the card, I added a few gold ink splatters.
