Phew! That feels better! The first card I'm sharing with you is a birthday card I created for my brother-in-law. I really struggle with "man" cards as let's face it - they really aren't as much fun to make as girly ones! And although this card contains a butterfly I think the colors and layout make it suitable for a guy. My BIL is definitely a "man's man" but one of the things I love about him is his capacity to appreciate his daughter's interests (how many guys do you know who would attend a dance recital in a non-airconditioned auditorium without complaint?). So I don't think he'll mind the butterfly at all :)
Materials Used:
S5316 Hero Arts Silhouette Grass
CL428 Hero Arts Earth Flowers
CG275 Hero Arts Birthday (Sentiment)
Ranger peeled paint, wild honey and walnut stain distress inks
Martha Stewart butterfly punch
Queen & Co. pearls
Fiskars border punch
Stampin' Up cs and pp
Your comments really make my day!
