While I absolutely love the look of real stitching, fitting a sewing machine into my small storage space isn't going to happen so I rely on hand piercing and drawing and/or a 'stitching' stamp set I bought so many years ago I can't even tell you who makes it. When it comes to stitching I tend to gravitate towards using white but in this case I decided it needed to be more subtle and a tone-on-tone look would keep the focus on the image and sentiment where it should be. This image and sentiment are an Itty- Bitty set from Unity Stamps and I used two ink colors, Olympia Green (Versafine) for the fan and Hot Fudge (MFT) for the stitches and sentiment.

I'm Your Biggest Fan - CAS-ual Fridays #117
The CAS-ual Fridays challenge is one that I've been participating in pretty regularly and in addition to being fun and a good chance to focus on CAS designs I'm finding that a lot of the designs help fill the need where 'masculine' designs are concerned. The current challenge is to use real or faux stitching in your design.

Cool, clean and simple. Great image too! Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays ;-)
Wonderful masculine card, Paula! Love that fan. I have a stamp set similar to this but have yet to use it. :-)
My husband had an old fan like this that he would run every night--i hated that thing. LOL Your card rocks! Thank you for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
