Less Is More Challenge Number 7

Over at the wonderful ‘Less Is More’ Challenge site this week the subject is to make a masculine card.  Like most people i struggled with this topic but here is the card .  I am wondering if there is too much space at the top of the card, what do you think…
LIM wk 7 01 LIM wk 7 03
LIM wk 7 02

Materials Used:
A6 card Blank
Sizzix Die – Camera
Toilet Roll inner
Acrylic metallic paints and brush
Cigarette Cards
Fiskers fancy edged ruler
Cord embellishment off a candle (£ store)
Creative Imaginations Photo Stamp set
Adirondack Slate Grey ink pad

Not feeling too well at the moment, i have a head cold and cough so please forgive me if i don’t get around to many of you this week.  I am finding it very hard and really time consuming to comment on the entries so i am going to comment on as many as i can get to in an hour each day.  I hope that this is acceptable and you will be understanding. I can see this site becoming VERY VERY popular as the entries grow each week and i am trying to set my boundaries.  Thanks to both Chrissie and Mandi for all of their comments so far, you have both been amazing! 
Would also like to say that if i do put up more than one card please do not feel obligated to comment on each one, i would be very happy if you had the time to look at all three and leave just one comment.  I have had some really great feedback from those who have left comments and i ask that you continue to give feedback whenever you can as i am learning from you all:-)
Thanks to those who have followed me since i joined this site, i am overwhelmed by your kindness.
Thanks for dropping by and have a great week:-)

    Love the torn edges of the card. Definitely a great card for a guy! I understand what you mean about the commenting. I try to visit every blog and leave a comment, but I work full time and with so many wonderful entries each week, it's getting more difficult to get to everybody.

    Very inventive to use a toilet roll inner for your camera! It's a great treatment and I expect you had great fun making it!
    It's a super card, not too much space at the top at all!
    It would be nice to be able to call you by a name!!!!!?
    Get better soon!

    This is fab, very inventive and I don't think that you have too much white space at the top either. Thanks for your comments on my own blog

    Great card :-)
    Maybe a way round the white space at the top would have been to do a landscape card instead?
    You will still have the same amount of white space, but it will be "distributed" differently.
    Having said that, I like the card as it is, keep up the good work :-)

    Not too much white space at all, IMHO. I rather like it. In fact I think your camera could sit down more, closer to the sentiment. LOVE the sepia/aged tones you achieved with the camera. I'm a fan of recycling tp tubes - I'm always pulling them out of the household recycling! Way to go green!

    What a great idea to use a camera as a frame around the photo :)
    I think the white space is fine above the camera. x

    Great masculine card and no, I don't think there's too much white space at the top - if anything I'd have been tempted to nudge the camera down even further (but I can be an extremist on white space!). Love th elittle image in the camera aperture!
