Earlier this month was my husband’s birthday and my mom, being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator also, sent him a handmade card that I loved.  In fact, I think I liked it even more than he did! 🙂

Anyway, I loved how striking it was and thought it was a great masculine card and so I wanted to share it with you.

The stamp and the paper are retired from last years catalog – Engraved Greetings stamp set and Love Letter designer paper.  But the cardstock, embossing folder, and punch are all current.

And the embossing, she heat embossed the stamp image with black embossing powder which made it look even cooler!  (I tried getting a close up to show you but its still hard to see).

This just goes to show that a card doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated to be a striking and fabulous card, huh?
