Masculine Sympathy

I am sharing today a card I made for a friend, a guy friend. Actually, other than the choice of scrapbook papers I used, this card could be for anyone, guy or girl. My friend is someone I knew from my old church so I was able to add a cross image, giving the whole card a really nice feel. This layout was cased from one of the blogs I frequent. Love it! As you know, my favorite embellishments are some kind of rhinestones, or baubles. I usually finish the card and then decide on these embellishments. This time I just didn't seem to have the right color baubles. In the end, I went with tiny bright silver ones. I am pretty surprised how much I like the look, since there is no silver in the paper at all! What do you think?

Recipe:

Papers - Daisy D's Cool Me Down 8 x 8 Pad, Cardstock Brown and Celery
