As demonstrators, we get the opportunity to acquire these items a couple of weeks before you so that we can create some sample ideas to share. So that's what I did.
The sample below uses the Painted Seasons bundle - and I chose a strip of the designer series paper to feature on my masculine birthday card. When I saw the patterns on this particular design I immediately thought of Lovely as a Tree so chose that for my set.

So I grabbed one of my Stampin' Sponges and brushed Early Espresso and Call Me Clover around the layers to give them a more vintage and less stark look.
I also used my Early Espresso and Call Me Clover Stampin' Write Markers to color and stamp the pine cone image from Lovely as a Tree. Each time I inked this image I stamped off onto a scrap piece of paper before stamping onto my card layer to achieve a more muted and vintage look there as well.
