A funny thing happened on the way to the woods

What can I say? I'm easily distracted. The original plan was to showcase the last pastels technique tonight. But this morning there was a cool "ways to Use It" challenge on SCS. The challenge was to use wood on a project, which reminded me of the card I made back in August using a twig as a branch. So my focus shifted to making another card using some sort of wood. Until I came home from work, that is, when I found the Linnensource, Inc. catalog in my mailbox. Well, you all know how much I get inspired by bedding!

Leafing through the catalog I spotted this masculine ensemble. Now, you have to keep in mind that i don;t always necessarily know what is and is not "masculine". Sometimes I make what I think is a masculine card and my DH calls it "girly". But even I can tell that this particular pattern and color combo screams "guy".

So, of course, I had to make a card in these colors. And here's what I came up with. Hopefully this will be a good masculine card that we can save for an upcoming birthday. Here's the recipe:

Stamps: Wildlife Reserve, Lovely as a Tree, Eat Cake
Ink: Basic Gray, Basic Black
Card Stock: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Going Gray and Kraft
Accessories: None
Techniques: Tearing

It's a really basic card, but I like how the colors go together. I was going to add eyelets and twine, but at the last minute decided to leave it alone. I think the intended recipient will appreciate it just fine as is.
