Male Sympathy Card

I know...male cards are so hard to make. But, a male sympathy card...way harder. This is my first  attempt in making one, so here goes...

Started with a white base card and matted with dark brown cardstock.

* Corners - A very old corner punch gifted to me, sorry no name on it.

* Embossing - I used a Cuttlebug Anna Griffin "Matelassé" folder on a beige panel.

* Sentiment - Close to My Heart Sincere Expressions acrylic stamp from the "Occasions" set. The light square is a heavy cardstock with brown and gold foil speckles in it.

* Flowers - The Paper Studio Spare-Parts "Burlap Beads Flowers" pack.

* Side Strip - I went with a piece of Jute twine instead to match the flowers.
