I made this for the sketch challenge and finally got around to loading it today. I'm in a post vacation slump and had to make a guy card, how depressing, no flowers!! Oh well, all's not lost, I got to use my Sweet & Sassy lighthouse and shell for the first time and I got to gaze at the beautiful roses on the back of this Graphic 45 paper, before I glued it face down!! Isn't that the way it always is, you buy a paper for the pattern on one side, and end up using the other!! I embossed all the dp with embossing folders and added black and white matts for added depth. The hardware is from SU.

Fabulous guy card!! I can relate to buying paper for one side and using the other. The shell is a great addition when you can't use a flower for a guy card.

A beautiful card! Your main image is gorgeous and I love the way all the layers compliment each other. Great embellishments to finish it off. A spectacular card!
