This leaf die was purchased a few years back, do you notice the stitch marks, they were way before their time, LOL, everything has stitched marks on it now. I checked and this dies date on it was 2007, it was one of my first dies I bought.
This whole card started with the corrugated paper I found at JoAnns, and I just started adding things to it. Tore the edges and then gave them a bit of ink, cut a chunk of burlap and added it with the brads, cut the die and did a little chalking in the center and shading with some ink around the edges, I really love this for a masculine card.

Perfect masculine card Connie. Love the different textures, and that leaf is just so pretty (?). I should not say pretty as it's a masculine card... but it is pretty. :)
Connie, I really REALLY like this card! The corrugated paper and burlap have totally inspired me, especially with the torn corrugated paper - I wouldn't have thought to do that! Thank you for sharing your creation. Your SIL will thoroughly appreciate it! hugs, de
Great masculine card Connie. You stuck with neutral colors that are still striking and show off the texture.
It's a great card, Connie - love all those manly details! So happy that your family lives closer now. My two son's live an hour and a half away, but that's a good excuse to take a drive! Hope you are having a lovely week. xo Karen

This is such a great masculine card, Connie. Love that leaf with the stitched lines. You are right about everything having stitched lines in them now. It's so much in trend :)
It really works, Connie ~ and I like that stormy blue green.
I should think your SIL was very pleased that you made him a unique card, and with a nice meal out too! They are some of the best bits of life, those small family celebrations :)

It must be so good to have your kids living close to you again.
What an amazing difference in driving time - 45 minutes drive is so much better than a 13 hour drive!!!
I do like this card ... texture is very good again, and I think it just adds to a design.
All the best Jan
Love the burlap and that big, beautiful leaf! Everything old is new again, right? I know you must love having the kids so close. That's just wonderful! Connie, I'm trying to catch up on visiting after being away for a few days with Wally's surgery. I only have a few minutes at a time on the computer because we have to watch him so closely, but I wanted to pay you a visit. And what a nice visit it is!
