I generally think of dots for girls but I think the colors dictate this card is for a guy and I do need masculine cards for my stash. Afterall, they do have dots in their ties, don't they?!
Very simple card! The botton border on the kraft card is Cuttlebug embossed. I did stamp over the dots with a PTI dot stamp because it gave the card a more balanced look. (The embossed CB dot was hard to see.)
The black card was stamped on one end with dots and punched on the other end with the Lines and Dots punch by EKS. I colored some white sewing floss with Copics to match the kraft color and then threaded it through the holes made by the punch.
I stamped dots over the letters and glued them on. Then the top panel was layered on to a gray dp pand and then on to the kraft base. I think it took longer to explain how I made the card than it did to make it
Thank you for looking! I hope you liked it and that it helps to inspire you to stamp.

I LOVE this! Such a wonderful design with the way the dots are echoed. I love that floss you coloured, too - it looks so effective the way you threaded it and left the ends. Fantastic man card - and for ladies, too!
