I struggle with "guy" cards, so I thought this would be a good challenge for me. All of the patterned paper, and the letter stickers, are from the Basic Grey Granola collection. The rectangles were cut with a Spellbinders die. All of the edges are inked. The card base is actually stamped with a wood grain image, but once I matted the card front, it ended up almost as big as the card base, so even popped up on foam adhesive, you really can't see it (but it added a nice touch to the back of the card). Some "manly" twine and brads finished it off - pretty simple, but that just seems to make more sense for a guy card.
Thanks for looking!
