Simon Says Stamp Olive Green is a wonderful deep green with just a hint of yellow. Reminds me of the program M*A*S*H with all their Army fatigues! But most of all Olive is a great color for making masculine cards (which are the most difficult.) I found some fun products to go with it and some that compliment nicely.
I’ve shot a video of the walkthrough with a little explanation of my card. Enjoy!
To start my card off, I used a sheet from the Breeze My Mind’s Eye Paper Pad. Then I started building up layers using a strip of Olive card stock stamped with YOU using Olive ink.
I incorporated the Indi Chic Grow washi tape and strips of pattern paper. And finally, I used the Indi Chic Pennant Garland to top off the card design.
This is going to one of the men in my family for sure!

Great card for men. All the different shades of the greens and the cute little banner really make this card pop. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.
wonderful use of patterns on your card..very nice grown up feel to this olive colour.
Great color for this week, I have the same Minds Eye pad and I use it often, especially for masculine cards. Nice to see an “oldy but goody” being used–some would only show the latest products–and I love the card you put together.
I love this olive color! Perfect for masculine cards, …. which I have so much trouble with!
