Good Sunday morning all! First of all I should probably say that I am either very late or really really early with this card with it's Happy Father's Day sentiment on it. However, in my defence, I did make this card earlier in the year and the sentiment was just right at that point! LOL I do think, however, it is a great card for a guy any time of the year so with that in mind, I decided to post it today. I really like this stamp as it is so versatile for those pesky guy cards we all have to make from time to time! I decided to make the entire card a bit distressed and started by tearing the edges on two pieces of Sky blue card. I inked the torn edges with
Tea Dye distress ink. I stamped my sentiment in the lower left corner. I mounted them on a piece of white card. Next I stamped the
Old Oak Tree stamp on to
kraft card in
Black Archival ink. I cut it out using the
Innsbruck die set and outer cutting insert for a bit of decoration around it. Before removing it from the die, I inked it with
Tea Dye for a bit of definition. I cut a small circle out of copy paper and used it as a mask for a moon shape. Using a white pencil, I added some haze around the mask and then a bit of outlining around the tree. I used a blue pencil to add colour to the lake and tie in the blue background card. Before adhering it to the card, I cut a piece of hessian (burlap) and removed a number of the strands in both directions. I glued this to the card, then attached my focal element die cut on top. I finished the card with a double
kraft card mat and added
Cosmic Shimmer Choco Brown PVA glue dots around the edge. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 3/4" in size.

Well done to all the winners.

Lynda - hi and hugs to Lynne. Where's Lindsay, now??
Well Sue the card also has a Autumn feel to it because of the colour so we can pretend the sentiment is for am October Birthday, ha great card for a male. x
Hi Sue. Wow, this is a real stunner that would be perfect for the men. I love the stamp and then how you have added the haze and outlined the tree. It is these small touches that you do that make your cards so special. The hessian and distressed edges all add to make a gorgeous card.
Congratulations to the Comment Game winners : )
Norah, congratulations on proving to the snob that Kelly was so right to ask you to make the invites. You should be very proud of yourself : )
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
Hello Sue,
I like how you have defined the moon. Altogether a really good card for a man.
Love, Roz.x

Morning Sue,
What a Tremendous Card, I Love Every Aspect Of It, Yes It's Great For A Man's Card But Change The Colours And Textures And You've Got A Stunning Card For A Lady! It Could Be Used For A Birthday Card.
I Just Love The Use Of The Fabulous Kraft Card It Looks Amazing When You've Cut And Embossed Your Main Image Using The Awesome Innsbruck Die.
I Love How You've Added The Hessian To Your Card I Love How You've Torn The Edges Of Your Backing Paper.
Then There's The Stunning Old Oak Tree Stamp I Just Love This I Love How You've Created The Haze Around The Moon By Using A White Pencil It Looks So Effective Indeed And Also The Lake, And The Chocolate PVA Glue Dots Around The Edges Which Look Fantastic As Always.

Hi Sue and all, great card today, a little different and useful for many occasions. I love the old oak scene perfect for autumn time. Congratulations to all the winners x
Good morning Sue
What a fabulous card I find it hard thinking of masculine cards. Using burlap is a great idea it really adds to it. i love the stamps that fit into the dies it's a brilliant idea.
Norah congratulations on showing SIL that handmade invitations can be exquisite.
Lynne hope things work out soon sending a hug
Congratulations to all the winners

morning Sue
from a very damp but beautiful Autumn morning here in Burgandy.
Thank you thank you for today's gift. It has just come in time for my granddaughter's partner's birthday. I love the ideas you have used (and I can think of many of the male species who the tattered edges and burlap applies to).
I have to catch up with posts from Thurs/Fri/Sat and will try to do this today. So I hope that I haven't missed any extraordinary happenings and that everyone is coping and feeling better. It's definitely Autumn here the colours are wonderful in the forests but it's also quite chilly so log burner time to make everything warm and snuggly.
Congratulations to all the very lucky winners.
To all who are not feeling 100% hope you feel better soon. To all take care and stay safe.
See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Good morning Sue and everyone. Love different textures on a card so this one is wonderful to me.
Congratulations to all the comment winners. Lynda, thanks for the message from Lynne, please let her know that she is in my thoughts. Norah, anyone can pay for invitations but the ones made with love will always be treasured. Sue xxx
Sunday Smiles to you Sue. Hope you had some good quality sleep to prepare you for, I dare say another busy day for you, or do you have 'Sunday off' ?
Well done to all winners today, enjoy your useful gift, I know I still do.
What a great masculine type card (I so agree with Patricia, men's cards fill me with dread, no flowers or bows, urgh) so its really helpful when you give us samples of more male like cards, although with a quick change of colour it can be changed for a female card. Your highlighting techniques bring some eeriness to the whole of the picture and bring it alive, the white pencil makes a whole bunch of difference to the scene. Such a great card to finish the week, you have bought us some amazing samples, two fantastic video tuts, and how can we forget the Thursday of all Thursday's, what a great week, thank you, but I should imagin there are quite a few Wilsonettes looking forward to next weeks post (and salary cheque) lol.
Pam - Hope your gentle return to work hasn't taken too much out of you, but I bet its been great to start to get back to 'normal' its been a long time hon xx
I need to go back and read the latter posts from yesterday as my concerns for Lynn and 4 paws are growing, and for Lyndsey !
Im hoping your holiday in Turkey dear friend is a relaxing one, you SO need some R&R.
To those who feel sad and down or feeling unwell, I send a bouquet of hugs and hope you know we all care.
Have a good.Sunday.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx

Lovely stamp on tnis card, and a very useful card for the men in our lives.
Good morning Sue, I like today's card design , but just not so sure of the colour, it's got a great autumn feel to it. I think it's the type of card that grows on you. Hazel x
Norah, I think someone is jealous!!! Your gift will be hard to match. As someone else said a gift made with love. ( and a load of hard work too). I bet your arm is sore, take it easy. Hazel x

Love the colours on this gorgeous card Sue
A great one for the "boys"! Always struggle with them but this is one to keep in mind. Xx
Morning Sue,
Wonderful card for a man and I love the stamp and howe you have used the colour.
Lynda thank you so much for letting us know how Lynne is and I hope her hubby and soon are well on the road to recovery and Lynne herself can get some serious rest time. Sending her special hugs.
Norah well done for making such a special gift for the bride-to-be and I'm so pleased she like them. Hope Rory is still doing well at college.
We had a lovely day with Nikki, went shopping and had some lunch and all she wanted was a new purse and was thilled when she saw a shiny black patent one. My Mum bought her a lovely little patent bag many moons ago and she took it everywhere with her till eventually it got really tatty and was thrown out...I think the purse sort of reminded her of that. She has always amazed us with her memory even though she is Special Needs...needless to say she was thrilled with her purse.
Congratulations to all the winners today enjoy your prizes.
Hugs to allin need of them and hope you days get brighter very soon.
Love Sheila xx
WOW this card is amazing.Your highlighting of the stamp is just wonderful.Thank you so much.

Great idea for a masculine card!
Morning Sue, I loved this card when it was shown on Thursday, it is amazing how much difference the use of a pencil can make. The colours are lovely and autumnal.

Hi Sue. Lovely card and although I'm not usually in to torn edges it really looks a great guy card especially with the burlap. I am really loving the stamps, in fact I have this one and have used it on some Christmas cards.

A really great card for a guy as you say. Very effective.
Hi Sue great card today and I love that stamp, so atmospheric. Congratulations to all the winners. Love Diane G xxx
Good morning Sue and everyone.
Sorry Sue but its not for me today. Im not a hessian/burlap fan but the stamp against the sunset colours is very effective.
Have a great day.
Ang x
Hi Sue
Fabulous card for the guys. I love the light blue with the brown and the hessian is great for male cards. That tree stamp is stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs.
Good morning Sue, A great card today, as everyone says great for a mans card, could alter the colours and the stamp with the different seasons of the year as there are so many colour variations in the burlap now. Thanks for the inspiration Sue, Have a great Sunday everyone. Linda.
Love this card, Sue. What a clever way to do the moon.
Anne (Northampton)
Hi Sue and all,
fantastic card for men. With your stamps and dies many variations could easily be made. I love the colours personally and it has given me great ideas for men's cards, which we all prefer not to do!
I hope everyone is well and taking great comfort in all the kind wishes from everyone.
Take care all of you,
love, Andrea xx
I posted comments several times yesterday but they haven't appeared. Today however, my post appeared, you learn something new everyday. I must be getting good at blogging lol.
I would like to thank Sue and the team for all their hard work, especially Sue. I would also like to thank all the Wilsonettes. I posted on the blog or any blog for that matter, for the very first time a few days ago. The comments I received were heart warming and very much appreciated! Thank you all for making me feel so welcome.
Love and best wishes and happier times for some of us, love, Andrea xx
A very interesting card for men. Love the stamp.
Good news from recent hospital check-up, the second op did the trick and finally I can now start my radiotherapy mid November. On tablets and scans for years to come but a small inconvenience to pay for good health. Many thanks to all who have posted messages of support, you remarks are greatly appreciated.
So I am sending great big bear hugs to all Wilsonettes who may be undergoing health, work or family problems. We may never meet but I feel we are all so supportive of each it's like having a comfort blanket wrapped around you when we neeed it most. Thank you.
Hugs Cheryl xxx
Ooops sorry forgot to congratulate the winners. I am sure you will love your gift.Hugs Cheryl xxx
Hi Sue
Wow, what a stunner. This card is not only great for men but also nature lovers. I just love the stamp and how you have highlighted the moon and round the tree. Hope you weren't to worn out Pam after you week of work. I know it was only a few days but I bet it felt like a week.
Hugs to all in need of one today. Glad to hear that the bride to be loved her invites Norah.
Hi Sue, this card is a really gorgeous example of your never ending inspiration. Love the colours. Congrats to the winners of the comment game. Bx
Yet another gorgeous creation and this card was the reason I gave in and bought this stamp with dandelion meadow on Thursday. Just waiting for it to arrive. Lovely surprise to see I was one of the comment winners. Thanks again Sue and keep up all the hard work.
Hi Sue and everyone, love today's card and male cards are always challenging! Congrats to all the winners. Have a great day Gx

Morning all,
you are making me start to like tattered edges, as I can see how this would appeal to several men in my life.
Cheers
Janice W
Morning Sue,
Brilliant card.
Best I've seen in a long time.
Thanks for the inspiration. X
Hi Sue,
great card for those peskies. I've been looking at this stamp for quite some time and this has decided me - it's a "NEED" one.
Your torn edges always look nice, can't say that mine do - perhaps I'll have to practice a bit more...
Hugs, Rose
Really like this card, the stamp is stunning and I lie how you have created the arty sky. Congratulations to all the winners x
Great card, the oval die cut makes the tree look like a classic framed picture.
Michele.
Hi Sue,
An ideal card for men. I love this stamp it can be transformed to suit any occasion and they fit so beautifully into the dies. The shows on Thursday highlighted this perfectly so much so I bought another set of stamps :-)
Lorna D
Hi Sue
A fantastic card again today. A great card for the men as you say. I love the colour combination too. Thank you.
Bye for now.

Hi Sue
Love the card it's very different and ideal for a male which I always have trouble with.

Enjoy your day

Hi Sue - great men's card today - as, unless they have a particular hobby, I always have great difficulty finding something suitable! This stamp is certainly one to buy!
Many thanks

Morning Sue, what a fantastic card for these pesky
men, they are so hard to do, thank you. Love the torn edges, makes me want to use this more often.

Hi Sue, a super card today so suitable for men but oh dear, more torn edges :( I really will have to try harder to make mine look more like yours and less like something the cats have been playing with :-)
I love the way you have coloured in the stamp and made a moon, very clever.
Congratulations to all of today's winners, enjoy playing with your prizes.

Hi Sue,
Love this card it's a really great man's card. Why are men's cards so difficult, especially the ones who aren't into pubs, darts, sports or cars? So thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration.

PS congrats to the winners.
Love it! Not a bow in sight ;)
Lovely card for a man Sue. Definitely one to remember .
have a great Sunday
lots of love
Jo xx
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
Well, I'm undecided with this one. I like the stamp, colours, hessian, but I think the distressing is too much for me. And yet, I loved the white double distressed one you did a little while ago, and also on C & C. I still wouldn't say "No" if it were sent to me though!!!
Congratulations to the comment winners.
Andrea, I loved your closing sentiment on your post today.
Love and hugs to all, and I hope you have as good a day as you can. xx
This is a lovely card Sue and like so many I struggle with cards for men. Your ideas are all gratefully received.
Congrats to all the winners.
Lynda please add my best wishes to Lynne and all her family.
Norah your are such a kind lady and I am sure everyone who receives an invitation will be so amazed at all your hard work.
Pam first week back is over and done with and week two is fast approaching hope all goes well.
Hugs and thoughts are sent to all who feel that life is not fair at present. Hope everyone has a good day and having read the forecast I think we all need to button down the hatches. Here's to a good week ahead. Helen K xx
Congrats to winners, cool men's card .. xx
Wow how different is this for a Sue card but luv and perfect male card for any occasion - I do luv the distress and inking technique xx GailT xx
Hi Sue,

What a super creation today.

Hello Sue,
Great card for men, I love the Oak tree stamp and the way you have used your white pencil to give depth.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Hope everyone is having a good day, love Brenda xxx
Good morning Sue and my Wilsonette Angels,
I love this card Sue and it was really nice of you to bring something different to our screens and unusual. I think this would make a lovely card for any man whatever the time of year, you're just coaxing us around to Fathers day that's all. The stamp is a beauty and done in the autumn colours looks really beautiful, but there again i love the colours of autumn as they are so varied. Another WOW Sue, thank you for the constant and surprising inspiration that you give to us each and every day. We are never let down because each day is another beauty brought to our lives by a beauty. I too added your name to where i could on the awards questionaire/voting form as i felt that your name should have been in included in a lot more categories because of the multi talents that you possess. Everything is crossed that you sweep the floor at the awards.
Lynda, please let our Lynne know that i am thinking of her and sending hugs to her and her family. I hope that she feels more able soon as she is missed.
I'm sorry you have been ill Katie-Louise, i hope that you are on the mend now and feeling a bit more like yourself. A virus is a horrible thing to get and the doctors say they can't do anything or give you anything because it is a virus. Sending a hug your way.
Wheely, so glad that you made the obvious right choice in P.A. as they are more than just a worker or colleague, they are someone that you are putting your life in their hands and so much the better if she can enjoy your hobby with you then she doesn't feel like a spare wheel. Enjoy yourselves today with your dad and stepmum and i have my fingers crossed for you flower over the hydro pool because it might just make the biggest difference to you.
Sheila, i can understand Nikki's love of her wee patent bag as i had a red one when i was wee and it went everywhere but it looked kinda funny with the dirty face, skint knees, one sock up, one down and the ponytail skeewiff but it went with my RED shoes that i loved. It is amazing just how much a special child does know or remember and it brings that warm glow to you when you realise they remember these silly wee things. I hope you bought Nikki her purse and put a penny in it for luck as it is unlucky to buy your own purse. Glad you had a lovely day with Nikki and she had back.
Andrea, i am glad that you feel welcome here because we love to have new friends come and join us and meet them. I know Sue always likes to see new faces come along. We are here for all occasions , but some of us are nosy like me and like to see where all my Wilsonette friends are from and we are pet lovers as well, so make yourself at home.
Cheryl, it is great news flower. I know the treatment is going to be hard on you but we will be here for you and with you in spirit at least every step of your path. Sending you a hug just because.
My Angels, thank you. I am not what you call a confident crafter and always doubting whether something is truly good enough, but you give me such a boost to let me think that i can accomplish things. Thank you for all your kindness, i am just so pleased for Kelly that she is getting so many nice comments even if they do think that a firm made them, it settles me down that they couldn't have looked home made, so thank you to the loveliest friends a person could have. She is, as you can imagine on the floating plane at the moment, i think because she can't quite realise that it is happening after all these years and it is real. Other brides have a build up to there day for things to go right and wrong, she hasn't so i have everything crossed for her that it all goes to last minute plans.
Rory is fair taken at the hugs he receives from my Angels, so thank you for bringing a wee bit of happiness to my boy.
From a day that looks like it is going to be nasty, i hope that you all have the sun shining if not from outdoors, i hope from inside out. Sending hugs to all my angels both here on blog and not,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Great looking masculine card...
No frill on this card but it did turned out really nice..
Well done Sue
Congrats to all winners...
enjoy your prize
Hi Sue, love todays card. It has an autumnal feel about it. Kind regards Joanne K x
This is a different one from your usual cards. It's a typical men's card, and we really need these ideas, as they are hard to do.
What a wonderful card Sue the colours are fantastic.
Sorry I have not had time to read the blogs today - it's Christmas cake baking day.

This is stunning Sue. love how you have done the stamp and it looks as if it has been coloured rather than on Kraft card. Beautiful.

Hi Sue,
What a different offering we have today! It is, as you say, very suitable for the men in our lives but I'm sure would be adapted for ladies too. It is a lovely stamp. I like the hessian - just not sure about the distressing but I guess the card would be totally different without it. I need to come round to it!
Sam - I hope you have a good day crafting in Doncaster , but an especially great day crafting with Julia. I'm sure you'll have good fun as well.
Sheila - so pleased you had a lovely day with Nikki and that she loved her purse.
Have a good everyone.
Love Myra xx
Beautiful love the autumn colours used on this cards looks good. Well done to the winners

Love the card today Sue!
I am a fan of the shabby chic/distressed style and always love it when you post a change from your usual style. Have some hessian but never know what to do with it.
Congratulations to all the comment winners.
Love the colours on this card but I am not a fan of distressing, sorry. I prefer a straight edge but thats just my preference. Karen x
hi sue
Stunning card love the stamped scene so peaceful

Wonderful, new design card for men!! Love it! Looks easy but I know it took a lot of work. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sue, I like this for a male design. If you don't have hessian you could create a scribbled background in the same vain. Congratulations to all the winners! Lots of hugs, Karen x
Oh my my I love this card and the colour. Absolutely gorgeous.
Hugs,
Ivy L xx
Hi Sue, what a great colour combination on this card. I'm sure if my dad was still with us he would have loved to receive something like this. I love the torn and distressed edges and the hessian behind the embellishment. Another show stopper! As always, thanks for sharing with us. x
Hi Sue
Great idea for a mans card I have some burlap but didn't think of thining it out like that. Will have to try it.
Love Elaine x

Hi Sue and everyone. How wonderful looking is this card. Absolutely perfect for a man or with different colours also for a woman. Love the Oak tree stamp,jumped onto my ever so longer wishlist which I rewriting at the moment so my need is before want,does that make sense lol.Fathers day for me is 9/11 so if I had'nt already made his card this would be one I tried. Thank you Sue for all the work you sharing with us!

Good afternoon Sue & friends,
Great one for the guys today, love how you have given depth to the image by adding the white pencil around the moon!
Lynda, thanks for taking the time top update us on Lynne and her hubby's progress, please send her my love and tell her to hurry back to the blog as we all miss her and the antics of the fur babies! X
Norah if the feed back you were getting was that they couldn't tell if they were professional made invitations, that's great flattery and shows that your style and finish must be top notch! Well done you, I made someone's wedding invitations once and it was both laborious and I was sick of the site of them by the end, I guess it's not normal to make the exact same card over and over again. Rory deserves all the love and hugs he gets bless him. Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog, it really made my day that you took the trouble to stop by x
I have had a busy weekend with mum & dad in law visiting!
Janet, oh I really want to cosy up in front of your log burner, all sounds very idyllic, but you forgot one thing............I am still sat in windy Oxfordshire! :(
On a serious note I am glad you arrived safe and sound after all your worries before hand, hugs xxx
Sending huge hugs to all of my Wilsonette family,
Sandra xxxx

Hi Sue,
Fabulous card for those pesky males! Really like the hessian and the stamp is lovely. Congratulations to all of the winners - enjoy your prizes.
Cheryl, really pleased for you, although the treatment will be hard, so my prayers are with you. Norah, well done for showing how beautiful handmade invitations are. Was going to have a lovely crafty day today and then we've had no electricity for the whole day! Typical! Anyway, it's just come back on ( just in time for Downton!) love to all, Alison xxx

PS Congrats to all the winners
A most unusual, beautiful card Sue. I'd love to 'have a go' at producing something similar (very-slightly-similar. ahem!!), problem is, being from MARS, I've no idea where to get that stamp. It would be much appreciated if some kind soul pointed me in the right direction, please. (((XX)))

Hi Sue
Wonderful card for men I find them very hard to make. My mind just goes blank.

Lovely card. The colors are wonderful and I love the dies you used for the framed image. Very cool.
This is a perfect masculine card. Love the scene and colours.
Evening Sue. What a lovely stamp. You could imagine sitting by that riverbank absorbing the last rays of the autumnal sun. I think if I owned that card I would stare at it a lot and just lose myself. Great card. Caz x
Hi Sue,
Great Father's Day card with all those textures.
Thank you for sharing.

Love it Sue, ideal for the men in our lives! Anne x
Hi Sue. Todays card is lovely !! The old oak tree stamp looks fab !! I love the Innsbruck dies that you have used as a frame for the stamp to. I like the distressed edges you have created and the burlap giving added texture to the card. I love how you have used distress inks on the topper. This is a great card for the men in our lives. My favourite colours are those of Autumn and of course shades of green to !! Thank you for sharing such a lovely card today Sue. Sending you lots of love from Tres x x x
Cheryl, So lovely to hear such great news for you !! Sending you lots of love today from Tres x x x
Thank you Lynda for letting us know about Lynne M.
I hope she is ok. I am thinking of her. Sending lots of love to you both today from Tres x x x
Congratulations to all of today's winners love from Tres x x x
Sending lots of love to all the Wonderful Wilsonette's today from Tres x x x
Try joannasheen.com, good for all the products Sue uses! However, the old oak tree is currently out of stock. You can leave your email address and Joanna and the team do inform you when it's back in stock. Joanna's prices are often some of the cheapest, with quick delivery.
You could also try ebay.co.uk, I got mine from there today for £4.95 free postage. Good luck with your search and purchase!
love, Andrea xx
Hi Mary Mac,
I've posted you some details of where to get things from. I hope the information helps.
Regarding Sue's dies and embossing folders, they too are all on joannasheen.com, she also has specials offers in. These offers change on a regular basis. Failing that, again ebay.co.uk, another good supplier/retailer is iconuk.co.uk they often have the stock and they are one of the cheaper sellers. Not many of their dies can be found as cheap. Postage/delivery also very good.
Good luck with the search! Andrea xx
A lovely masculine card for the fellas. Thanks, Sue for the inspiration. I bought this stamp several weeks ago, along with some of the others :-)
Congratulations to all the winners and Crafty hugs to all.

I really like this card, love the textures, a great idea for a male card.
fab card even if it is Father's Day love the stamp .Laura O
Rats - not lucky this week- again.
Like tbis card,very much. Love the colours and the unusual stamp. Makes a nice change.
Still hoping for some ideas for smaller and FLAT cards for posting for Christmas. I saw the small one that chap did last week (forget his name) and t'was a good idea, but not flat so still needs a large stamp.

PS What makes a person a 'Wilsonette'??
