But................. I wasn't happy with last weeks effort and as time has been so tight this week I didn't have any time to re-do..... and................nor am I happy with this one either!
I used cream linen textured card and printed out the sentiment using an English Script type font.
I have always liked this stamp from Personal Impressions and I usually team it with an image of a vintage car/pocket watch or something else that the man would be dreaming of buying! I decided to try and stick to the LESS theme and do away with the other images and use the man alone. I am not sure if it works.
I stamped him with Adirondack Espresso and then used the trusty shaving brush and dusted and distressed the image and the base card with Antique Linen.
I used the Cuttlebug 'Diamonds in the Rough' embossing folder on the base card. I couldn't resist the addition of the pocket watch button - am hoping that it 'finishes' the card off without making the 'less' seem 'lesser'!!!

Well Viv I'm no expert but I love your card, it's fab. The image of the man is great and works so well with the embossing folder. I really like your card a lot. Jo x
I think this is a great card Viv. Love the image (& would be fine without the watch). x
This is great and the button is just right - definitely not 'less is lesser' IMHO

Love the way the sentiment goes perfectly with the image of the thinking man!
You may not be happy with this card, but I think it fills the brief perfectly, and is an excellent card for a man. Never mind practising - you are doing pretty well anyway. I really like this one.
Ooh love the embossed background and that image is perfect for a male card. Great work!
Great masculine card :)
Wonderful card
