The challenge over at The Male Room is asking for leaves. I thought long and hard trying to come up with a masculine card with leaves on it. I've got all sorts of leaf dies but all were just too small for what I was thinking - so finally came up with this pretty embossing folder......not one of the new 3D ones, but a very old one from Provo Craft. I used some Kraft card stock and some green patterned paper along with a bit of twine and a Simon Says Stamp "thanks" die. A very simple card but that's ok because I think guys like it like that.
I'll enter this in The Male Room Challenge - Leaves.
Thanks for stopping by........

Male cards are sometimes hard but this is a great one. The green and kraft are perfect colors and the leaf embossing folder is a good choice.
ReplyDeleteSuch a classy card Lynn, love the embossed background and the twine and die cut sentiment, fabulous.

It's a PERFECT male card! It's simple and has the right colours, but also texture with the beautiful EF and the layered dimensional sentiment! The twine adds interest and enhances the sentiment. Well done! I'm always in trouble with cards for masculine recipients.
ReplyDeleteThese embossed leaves are awesome, Lynn, and you're right in that the guys would rather have something simple and classy!
ReplyDeleteI still have this same ef in my stash but haven't used it in years! So glad you used yours to make this great CAS thank-you card. I love how you layered the sentiment and tied the twine beneath it for a great masculine card.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. Guys do like simple cards. This one is perfect. Great design and says everything it needs to say simply.
