They survived a two year long distance relationship through phone calls and letters, cards and a few visits. He was a man of few words, she had a lot to say. But they were nuts about each other and their love withstood the miles and the test of time.
This is my entry for the second round of the PaperCraft's Gallery Idol Competition. Our mission was to think outside the box and create a masculine based card with actual items from the garage or items that live in the garage. What more of a challenge is out there than to create a Masculine Valentine's Day card? While walking through my husband's garage, under his watchful eye, I came across a bucket full of trinkets, including these nuts. The pun popped into my head. I kept true to my clean and simple style and adhered two nuts to the card with looped baker's twine and stitching. The sentiment is a rub-on, which determined the dimensions of the card.
You can vote here! Be sure to check out all the fabulously masculine entries! Voting for this round ends Thursday, June 17th at noon. Thanks so very much for checking it out and for your support through this process!
Supplies Used: Cardstock: White (Georgia Pacific) Robin Hood Red (Stampin Up) Black (unknown source) Rubons: Providence (Making Memories) Other: Baker's Twine, Thread, Nuts
