Man oh man oh man...

Three of the men in my family have birthdays this month. I really struggle making cards for guys. I'm naturally drawn more towards floral or cutsie designs. So last night I sat down to make some masculine birthday cards. I pulled out masculine colors - Sahara Sand, Basic Black and Whisper White. I looked through the galleries for masculine inspiration. Here's what I came up with:

LOL!! Like I said - I'm drawn to flowers! I really love the way this card turned out. I'm going to use it as a project for an upcoming Stamp-A-Stack, so consider this your sneak peek. :)

Stamp Sets: Flower Fancy, Sincere Salutations

Paper: Sahara Sand, basic Black, Whisper White, Delicate Dots DSP

Ink: Basic Black, Rose Red, Garden Green

I eventually came up with a masculine card. It's not my favorite card, but it turned out OK. Now I have to decide if I want to make three of the same cards or challenge myself to design two more.

Stamp Sets: So Cool -retired, Fundemental Phrases

Paper: More Mustard, Bordering Blue, Natural White, retired DSP

Ink: More Mustard, Bravo Burgundy

Thanks for coming by today. Watch for more info on upcoming events including that Stamp-A-Stack where you can make that beautiful Flower Fancy "masculine" card. :)
