Masculine "get well" card

It's the dreaded fellow card (well it's a card genre that's a little dread-filled
for me, at least). But I thought this Doctor's Office stamp from Purple Onion
Designs hit the right note between masculine and cute:

The building stamp has a bit of architecture, but it also has that happy doodle style. I built a frame up around it (popped up on foam tape). But then the chevron paper was so intense it was actually making Charles dizzy when I asked for a man's opinion. And who needs a get well card that makes a fella feel ill, right? So... I added white acrylic paint to tame those zig zags.
