Twitterpaitted - Male cards are hard for me to do. I love pink and flowers and glitter. So this fortnights challenge at Creative Card Crew of masculine cards, was hard for me.

I finely sat down and thought about what would my husband like in a Valentine's card. Not what I wanted to give him, but what does he really like. Then I thought about how much he loves the outdoors and probably his all time favorite gift that I have given him was a book that made bird calls. He used to sit out on our balcony at our apartment that overlooked a wildlife preserve. He would have the book make the calls and wait for the birds to come and return the calls.

This card combines his love of birds and my homework assignment from my Copic's class, which was to color bird feathers.

My DP is Glitz Pack Afternoon Muse. Glitz paper pack and other delights to go with it are available at our Sponsor Simon Says Stamp. They are just back from CHA and are getting in loads of new stuff, so now is a great time to browse their site.

My sentiment was created by me. My husband liked to imatate some of the lines from Bambi when we first met, so he will totally get this sentiment. I punched the sentiment with my new punch from stampin up. I also punched a heart to go behind the sentiment with my Creative Memories heart punches.

My image is Designed to Delight. I colored it with Copics and fussy cut it. I framed it with Stampin Up framelits die. The punch border was a MS punch. Everything was inked with Black Soot distress inks. I used a button and twine as my only embellishment. I don't normally use kraft, but I like the rustic look of it with the twine.
