I hope this card is manly enough for my FIL. I tried to keep it clean and simple....and, yes...manly. (Hoping a butterfly is not too girly).
I love this layout with the colors. I would like to say I came about it all on my own, but I saw it on a billboard before Christmas. Layout and colors the same(wild wasabi)!!!! The only exception was on the left there was a present in black and white stripes with a red bow.
I embossed the kind thoughts big ornate stamp and just stamped twice and cut out one of the green butterflies. This is a 7 X 7 piece of cs folded in half. Sponged the wild wasabi around the edges for depth and adhered 3 1/4" black strips.....sentiment, three black brads for balance and my card was complete. Could have added more, but wanted to keep it simple.

This is really wonderful! I love the wasabi sponged side and crisp, clean color scheme and design! The 3 black stripes are very striking too! I think it is perfect for your FIL! He's sure to love it!
