Tuesday Morning sketch adventure on a Sunday Evening

I sat down this evening (almost the first time today) to tell you about a completely different adventure, but it will have to wait for tomorrow, as Tuesday Morning Sketches closes in minutes and I made this joy-fold card using sketch #310, earlier this week:

stamp sets - Amazing Birthday, The Wilderness Awaits; ink - Early Espresso, (stamping) Soft Suede (sponging); card stock - Island Indigo, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla; Big Shot with Arrows textured impressions embossing folder
Well, it's that sketch, turned sideways, I meant.  Not long ago I tried to use this stamp set, specifically that little matted duck piece, for a card that ended up going in a different direction.  This color combination sets it off better, I think.  And I love the inside, too:

stamp sets - Happy Birthday Everyone; ink - Early Espresso, (stamping) Soft Suede (sponging); card stock - Island Indigo, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla; Big Shot with Arrows textured impressions embossing folder

The Wilderness Awaits is one of my favorite new stamp sets, so I'd like to link up at SU-Only Challenges, as well as Seize the Birthday, where anything goes this fortnight.  It's been too long since I've played along at both of those fun sites!

Wow! This is an incredible masculine card. I always find guy cards so hard to do, but this one is great. Perfect fancy fold for this design, too.
