Hello! This week I'm showing you my
VERY FIRST EVER "MAN CARD"! LOL! My Father-in-law's birthday will be coming soon and he has pointed out several times that I never make him anything. But then I always remind him of all the zucchini bread I'm always baking for him. :) It's high time I attempted a masculine card anyways, especially since I'm surrounded by men and boys at my house. :) This horse stamp is one I picked up last October at our local rubber stamp show. When I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for my father-in-law since he loves
and owns horses. I've been saving it to make a nice card for him. I've used the
Real Wood Papers you can find at
McMahon Five Designs Store in this card. I simply stamped and embossed the horses right onto the Bird's Eye Wood Paper and then decided to let the beauty of the wood shine through. The background paper is the Rosewood Wood Paper which I also used on the inside of my card too. :)
Here is the inside of the card. I added a little image of a barn because I felt like it was appropriate too. :) Thanks so much for visiting with me again this week. I hope you will all take some time to play along with us at the
Midnight Madness!

This is so beautiful and classy. What a great image to create a masculine card. I know he will love and appreciate it, especially from such a sweet daughter-in-law as yourself. Besides, he is just on the edge of his seat waiting for you to make him something! Tell us his reaction when you give it to him. Can't wait to hear.

Hi Michelle! Wow your masculine card is so pretty. I love the image of the horses and how it's framed....you are sure to please with this beauty!
LOVE IT!!!!! Do you know who made the horse stamp? I would LOVE to have one like it! The wood papers and all the spellbinder die cuts plus the stitching make this one INCREDIBLE card. You FIL should be thrilled right out of his socks! Please let me know about the stamp, I really want one! I know of a couple folks who would go nuts if they got a card with that image.
