I made this card for the Unity Bachelor Bro challenge, week 6. This week's challenge is to create a card that is sweet themed, but kept manly. In addition to this task, the card must only use pink and brown for colors.
I chose to reflect on the sweetness in the "miss you" sentiment. Do I need to get all ooey-gooey describing this? Probably not, everyone has been there at one time or another. I really wanted to keep the card quite manly, so I minimized the pink, used twine instead of ribbon and a knot instead of a bow. I sponged around the edges of the main image panel first with pink and then with a couple of browns to soften/sweeten the image a bit. I hope it wasn't cheating to use white as a neutral. I was going to check the thread and see if there had been any conversation about it. But...I forgot!
This task stumped me a bit and I even asked my hubby to help with ideas. Unfortunately, he was out all night with his buddies and wasn't in a creative mood. However, the finished product did meet with his approval.
Thanks for looking!

I've always loved this leaf and you have used it wonderfully on this card, Toni Great colours and the twine is the perfect touch. Well done!
