Valentine in Browns

Each year I challenge myself to make 26 different, individual valentines.  The ones for the guys are the hardest. 
I wanted to use colors that would lend themselves to the more masculine look.  I love the polka dot paper but it is impossible to match color-wise to any cardstock I have so I went with maroon accents.
The stamp in the center of the card is Unity.  After I stamped it in brown, I hand stitched the edges with a Prisma pencil and then used Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink, masking the letter rectangles.  "You" die is Simon Says.
