This card was not made for anyone in particular. It is going in my stash.
However, today my sympathy and prayers are for my mother who is having a tooth pulled in about an hour.
No one ever wants to have a tooth pulled. And I am praying there are no complications because Mom is looking forward to Tuesday, Sept. 2 and the 30th Anniversary Celebration of an ELCA Bible Study that she helped to start in 1984.
I tried to keep this simple and geared to a male recipient, with the tan distressing, and using a knot on the ribbon instead of a bow. The photo doesn't really show that the top 2 layers are popped 1/8" off the card base.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Love to Create Challenge #130 - Mad About Plaid (I love this ribbon. At first it appears gingham, but if you look closely there is a red line going through it for a very versatile plaid.)
Come and Get It Challenge - Anything Goes with a Sentiment
Great masculine card - these are tough but this looks amazing! Great embossing and I like the tip of making a knot with the ribbon instead of a bow - nice touch for a man and I had not thought of that.
ReplyDeleteSimple, magnificent, and elegant! Unfortunately, I'm in need of a masculine sympathy card this week for a fellow service club member whose sister passed on. I may borrow on your ideas.
ReplyDeleteTour sympathy card is very elegant looking. Love the partial embossing.
