Happy Birthday-CAS style

I needed a birthday card for my Father in Law and decided that my normal heavily embellished style just wasn't going to cut the mustard.  I based this off of a card I made HERE for my hubby on our anniversary.  I got a lot of the basics from Dawn McVey on the original.  I think she is the best at the CAS style while still having tons of fabulous detail.

I didn't really think that a flower or butterfly was too masculine so I opted for some burlap leaves that I used the PTI dies from the set "Sending You" and a couple buttons.

What do you think?  Masculine enough?  I sure hope so. 

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI Kraft, Stampin' Up brown

DP: My Minds Eye

Stamps: PTI Woodgrain Basics, Mat Stack 2 and 3, Tiny Tags and all dies to match stamp sets

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Versa Magic Ocean Depth

Border Punch: Fiskars
