My husband left today to do some work in another state. Our anniversary is in a couple of weeks, it is our 7th. This is the first time in our married life that we have been apart. I really thought I would be okay with it, I mean...unlimited stamp time! Now that he is gone though, I already miss him!
I generally don't make masculine cards, only occassionally. Since he is gone though, I will be mailing him lots of cards, so I am going to be trying my hand at masculine cards. Ugh! I really don't even have any manly sets!
For today's FS challenge, I chose this card Tagalicious by Petal Pusher at Splitcoaststampers from Petal Pusher's gallery. I think I liked the simplicity of the layout, breaking me in slowly to "man cards"!
I kept the layout, changed the colors, the stamps, and added ribbon twill. TFL

Really great colour combo. Love the brads & twill ribbon.
Hope your husband isn't gone too long!

He will love this card - my DH was gone most of the time - absence makes the heart grow fonder - just keep happy thoughts and he'll be back in not time!
