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!

Love your card, Shari! It has a lovely vintage feel to it and I think it would be suitable for a guy or a gal. I agree that olive is a very versatile dark neutral and I love the colours you’ve used to coordinate with it on your card.
