This will be a birthday card for my brother who's an avid butterfly (and bird) watcher. I tried to use some male-ish type colors on this with the red, green, and yellow. They're mounted on a piece of Very Vanilla that's been embossed with the Wood Grain embossing folder. This was all placed on some older CTMH DP. I added a silver brad to each of the spots on the butterfly wings.
Thanks for stopping by.........and be sure and check out the Seize the Birthday challenge this week.

Well, Lynn, you've succeeded once again in producing a fabulous "guy" card. I love that background paper and the woodgrain embossing is the perfect back drop for your butterflies. The brads add so much to the whole card. I'm home for the next two days(but have to clean and cook) so I will try to get over to the Seize the Birthday site and join in. Thanks for the inspiration. Enjoy your day.
Love the butterflies perched on the wood grain. Gorgeous card and I know your brother will love it.
He's going to love this card Lynn! I do too... those butterflies are perfect and I like the brads on them. Perfect with the embossing, paper and the twine.

Oh, Lynn, I'm loving the wood grain and twine! I missed playing along last week and will probably miss this week, too, due to camera problems. :-( But I'll be back once I replace the old digital SLR.
Beautiful butterfly card! Love the colors and background you created! The twine is just the right touch!
I've got to hand it to you Lynn - I doubt I could have made a masculine card with butterflies, but you nailed it! The woodgrain embossing really looks great!
This is wonderful and sounds like the perfect card for him! I love that you used the twine as a more 'manly' version of ribbon!
Fantastic! I love the primary coloured butterflies! GREAT card!
WOW, bright and beautiful!! x0x0

Great job with the sketch! I love the wood embossed background! Your brother will love this since he's into butterflies!!!
I love how you've made these butterflies to look like they're on the side of a building! And the DP in the background and twine finish it off wonderfully! I'm sure he'll love it!
This is fabulous Lynn!! You did an awesome job creating a guy card with the butterflies! Perfect colors!
Love the bright butterflies and the brown and that bright blue go together so well.
This is beautiful, Lynn...the butterflies look awesome with the added brad and the knotted twine is the perfect masculine detail!!!!
you know, i never think "butterflies" for a masculine card, but looking at this i'm kind of kicking myself b/c it's BRILLIANT... in every sense of that word! (LOVE the texture and the twine, as well; love the whole entire thing, actually!!!) ♥
A terrific masculine card...your brother is sure to love the primary colors and the woodgrain background...how perfect with the butterflies in the wild. The twine & darker paper really set off the entire card. TFS
I love this! That background paper adds so much texture to this card.
