This month, the Crafty Secrets design team members are focusing on masculine cards since Father's Day is coming up quickly. A few readers have pointed out that masculine cards aren't necessarily my thing and perhaps aren't your favorite things to look at. I'm aware of that myself, but certainly still enjoy making them. I have a lot of fun making cards whether they are my style or not and don't want to lose that love or limit myself because after all, I do this because it is fun. So today's card is for my husband, my farm boy. I love him so much.
I used Crafty Secrets Farm Fresh Double Sided Creative Scraps and Down on the Farm stamp set.
The corrugated heart is from Jillibean Soup.
And, all of the paper is from the Melissa Frances Kitschy Kitchen line.
Here are some fun links for you to follow on this beautiful Monday:

I just love love love the vintage look of a PERFECT masculine card. I think we all have things that we prefer to work with. And you are right that you don't want to limit yourself. It's fun to be creative and that matters.
Gorgeous Melissa!

WHO said you couldn't make masculine cards???? Your cards from PTI's release last month were my fave of all! Loved that star one!
This one is equally as cute...you can do it all, Melissa! And I am sure that your husband appreciates everything you make, frills and all :)
