Here’s a card for my oldest son whose birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Not sure about the twine bow for a guy. I thought of just knotting the twine but decided (for him) that he wouldn’t mind. lol

The tree was sponged using a set of stencils. The background was embossed with a “Distressed Stripes” embossing folder. Love the gritty textured look that it gave to this “Country Woods” designer paper. The frame was made using two different sizes of rectangular dies. The sentiment was embossed using white embossing powder on a green cardstock.
