If I really wanted to get serious, I'd re-stamp and move all the left-side sentiments up a little to space them out more. But I'm not. All good, he will love it.
I tried my hand at the Debbie Olsen et al loopy twine. It's the perfect way to sneak some fibers on a guy card. I'm picky about what I will and won't allow. Normally it's metal, yes. Buttons, no. (But these worked.) Hemp/twine, yes. Ribbons, no. Woodgrain and canvas impression, yes. Floral of any kind, no.

Love this card Christy! The woodgrain texture is perfect for a guy card. Love the trio of those coveted wood buttons too.
Christy! I love this, especially how you roped all those buttons together.
It's fantastic!
And not too lovey dovey girlie...:)
The colors are perfect and love your loopy buttons!
Oh I love it! i love the balance you created with the red sentiments. I really need to figure out where my rustic buttons disappeared to...I haven't seen 'em since I moved things to paint. :(
I love it! Great choice of colors for a masculine card. I think you did a great job with the loopy twine. Your DH will love it! I'm terrible when it comes to making masculine card. I'm going to CASE your card to make a few to keep on hand. Thanks for the inspiration!
Brilliant! Love the use of the woodgrain impresion plate for a velentine for a guy!
Christy......This is the perfect masculine card for V-Day! Love the wood grain and the rich browns and red together......Definitely a winner for "the hubster!" ;-)
This is wonderful Christy! The wood grain is perfect, as are the buttons, love it!
I see you are still have a few of the wood buttons .... me too and they are so hard to part with unless I REALLY like you :) Card is fabby ....... love the WG impression and the mat stack cutout ....... JUST PURE LOVE!!!
love the sentiments in the window!!
Thanks for stopping in & visiting my blog - I wanted to return the favor! Glad I did too! You make such pretty things :) And I don't think you need to change a thing about this card -- it's perfect the way it is!
This is smashing!
OMG Christy! This is amazing! I LOVE the woodgrain and all your loopy twine for your buttons! Your texture to the sentiment panel is extra special too! Is your red piece just a popped up card front? ie. layered on a fine linen base?
My favorite color combo!! I love the IP detail too! This is such a gorgeous card!
This is just adorable! Love the sentiments INSIDE the frame! Great detail!
