I made this card for my brother in law whose birthday is next week. Masculine cards always are a challenge for me. I incorporated today's cc444 challenge which was to use Choc. Chip, Tangerine Tango, Cajun Craze, and Crushed Curry as well yesterdays TLC447 which was Fill it Up (stamp and image in the background over and over again). Today's dessert for the CC444 challenge was fussy cutting so I cut out two leaves and popped them up.
The stampsets used on this card are SU Lovely Leaves and Whimsical Words. Not adding a ribbon bow or putting those feminine touches on a card was difficult for me but I did it....I think?
Thanks for looking!!

What a wonderful guy card. The colors really pop against the white, and you did a beautiful job fussy cutting the leaves ( mine NEVER looks that good!). The texture from the embossing folder contrasts beautifully against the smooth sentiment layers. Love it!

I really want to say your card is gorgeous, but since it's for your BIL, I'll say it's a 'handsome' card. Very nicely done... the embossing is a nice touch, and the hemp is a perfect embellishment!
