I needed another quick masculine card today, and I decided to add some distressing to the edges to fit this week's CAS challenge. I wasn't sure how to incorporate distressing and keep it clean, so I just kept it super simple. The card base is textured to make it a little more interesting.Stamps: Lovely as a Tree
Paper: Old Olive textured, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: distressing tool

Lovely card Ann -
Lovely as a tree always works so well for masculine cards and the CAS style always seems to work for the men as well.
Your understated distressing worked well too.
Thanks for sharing - Jean

I love distressed edges!!! Your card is so clean and fresh Annie! :D Your work is true proof that embellishments are overrated, as yours brings so much focus to the stamped image. :D

Great CAS card! Nice touch with the distressing!
This is my favorite tree image. The colors are great. You did the same thing that I did with my distressed challenge... just a bit around the edges. It does lend to the more rugged, masculine feel though.
Love it with the textured cs, great man card!
Yeah, textured cs, touch of distressing, perfect CAS card! LOVE IT!
Great CAS card! A distressing tool is one thing on my wish list. I love how distressed edges look.
Wonderful card. I love that stamp! It was one of my first SU stamps and is still one of my favorite sets.
Great masculine card! I find masculine cards so difficult to create.
Masculine and warm and pleasing to the eye too!
