Father's Day Card

What a week it has been!  I celebrated a birthday this week and was selected as a fab four in last weeks Play Date Cafe challenge!  Thank you Play Date Cafe!!!  Well the creative juices were overflowing so I jumped right in and created this Father's Day Card using this week's  Papercraft Star sketch.  I recently purchased a stamp set from a new company called Tradefish Designs, which is devoted to creating stamps with masculine themes.  I used a variety of papers from Bo Bunny's The Time Piece Collection, as well as some Kraft light weight cardstock,  and designer paper from Stampin Up.  To give this card a masculine feel I tried to use textures from the burlap scrap fabric as well as some hardware from Tim Holtz.  I often struggle with masculine cards so I try to stick with a neutral color pallet, and leave my embellishments simple.  With Father's Day just around the corner I'm looking hard to spot other masculine themed cards on my favorite blogs!  Hope everyone is having a good weekend and thank you for taking time to stop by.
