I still needed to make my FIL his Father's Day card, so when I saw this week's Raspberry Suite colors were green, black, and cream, I figured they'd be perfect for a masculine card.I kept this one simple, since the men I know don't seem to like or appreciate the fussier cards. I did a bit of distressing, then added a few buttons.
Stop by tomorrow to see my project for the next Paper Blooms challenge. I'll have a Father's Day gift idea to share.
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree (SU), Mega Mixed Messages (PTI)
Paper: Naturals Ivory, Basic Black, Old Olive dp (SU)
Ink: Basic Black, Old Olive
Accessories: Nestabilities circles, distressing tool, buttons (BasicGrey)

Such a sweet card using my favourite colour too! That reminds me I should start on my father's day card =/
The colours go well together.
I like the layout.
And most of all i love trees! Recently someone cut a tree outside and i couldn't bear it!

men don't like fussy cards, thats for sure. this is perfect!
This is a wonderful card! I love how you added the distressing. I think it is perfect!
Yes, this is a good masculine card, so well done with just a hint of color for the tree! I like this, Ann.
Oh so fabulous! Love the bit of distressing on the card...not too much, just right. And Lovely as a Tree is perfect for guy cards. I'm so glad SU didn't discontinue it because new stampers deserve to have easy access to such a versatile guy set! Thanks for showing me a new layout to use with it!
Super Father's Day card! I'm really struggling with the ones I need to make. I had 9 orders from co-workers for these cards and I find myself stumped this year. Man cards are my least favorite, but yours is just perfect-o!
great card! I love the use of brads along the circle edge!
