Well, this one was sure a challenge for me. I needed to do a man's card tonight, and trying to incorporate cameo coral into it didn't come real easy to me!!! This is what I came up with, and I will say that on the photo the vellum looks much "pinker" than it really is IRL. The little hinges on the side are something I just bought and just love! They are hinge stickers. They were bright gold and I sponged them with Black Stazon to get this more brassy effect.
P.S. Since submitting this I made a little change. I thought the tag was too bare above the twill, so I added a row of tiny little bobbers there in Black Stazon. It helped to finish it off, I think. No time to re-photo -- got to get it in the mail.

This is a great card! You did a fantastic job! I never would have dreamed that coral could work its way into a "manly" card but you proved that it can! TFS!
