One for the Boy

I really surprised myself with this card, masculine themed cards don't normally come easy to me.

I don't really know what made this masculine card "easy" for me, maybe it was the fact that I used the DSP to determine the colours? Anyway, I'll take whatever it was, because I love this card.

For added texture on the heart background I ran it through the Subtle Embossing folder twice, turning 90 degrees for the second pass, creating a crisscross effect. I also raised the outer heart by cutting 2 additional layers for extra height....and partly because I changed my mind from Balmy Blue to Night of Navy, hahaha!

I used Stampin' Blends for my colouring, and lastly added some Linen Thread for embellisment.
