Hello! I guess you could say I'm on something of a roll with guy cards lately (check here and here). Seems the more clean-and-simple the design, the easier it is to create for men. Today's card happens to be a birthday one, but you could easily swap out the sentiment for a Father's Day one.
Still loving my Extra Large Bird Punch by Stampin' Up! after all these years. The foliage comes from that, done up in two shades of rust. A tiny button, tied with vintage thread, tops them off.
For a bit more interest along the bottom, I used a swirly embossing folder (a really skinny one!).
And that's it! I am super-pleased with how this came out. Thanks so much for your visit today!
