I made this card for a friend of ours who loves the outdoors and loves to go hunting. The paper was a snippet of camo design and I thought it would make a good background, so I die-cut it with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle. The sentiment panel was done with snippets of white and kraft, and both pieces were die cut with a Venetian Label die set from Gina Marie Designs. The little deer was punched from a scrap of kraft using a very old Martha Stewart punch and I called this one done. Guys don't seem to care much for fussy cards, so I kept this one simple and CAS.
I will enter this into the following challenges:
Dies R Us #153 - one for the boys
Cardz 4 Guyz #253 - monochrome
the Snippets Playground #387 - use snippets
Thanks for stopping by and I apologize if I haven't been around to comment on your blogs. My husband recently had a surgical procedure and tending to his needs has taken a lot of my time, so crafting has taken a back seat for a while. Thanks for your understanding and have yourself a good day!

Brilliant masculine card and fab choice of patterned paper to give it a really outdoorsy feel. I love the little punched deer/stag, its a nice little embellishment to complete the card. I'm lucky to live near a forest and often see the deer on a misty Autumn morning, they're very majestic and so big and powerful... I think its why the men like them :) x

Simple is always best for guy cards and you nailed this one. Love the camo paper and I do like that font on the greeting. I hope hubby is doing well after his surgery and he is on the mend. We'll be here, don't worry about commenting. Take all the time you need.
This card is fabulous Carol! That is some fabulous paper to have in your stash and I can't believe with all the masculine cards I need with hunters that I don't own a single piece of it! LOL! That little deer wood piece is perfect with this! Nicely done! Please take care of hubby and yourself. We'll always be here! Sending you thoughts and well wishes my friend! HUGS
