This birthday card is for the DH. Masculine cards are on the difficult side for me, thus I don't do too many. The wheat shocks seemed the answer to making a good card that wasn't feminine for the DH.
I like this Sue Wilson die, but I do have to use the longer plates and put it through the CB a couple of times to get it to cut completely.
Note to self, shape all of the wheat shocks before adhering. It's those missing brain cells again.

Wow, this is beautiful! The wheat looks fabulous shadowed in white, a technique I don't think to use. I love the Sue Wilson die too and the fact that it does come larger. Outstanding design!
