This is my card for our every other month swap for an awesome group of ladies on SCS--the SOTC--Sisters of the Traveling Cards! Gael is our hostess for June and she posted the following:
Have you ever noticed that the majority of masculine-labeled cards are either football/baseball, hunting/fishing, golf, tools, Nascar? Not one of those themes would be appropriate for The Man in my house. Therefore, your challenge is to create a man's card that has NONE of those stereotypical things that first spring to mind. Also, you must use at least one non-earth tone somewhere on your card. (In other words, something bright)
I love this masculine Stampin' Up set Dapper Dad and have used all three of the stamps. I took out the shoe stamp and matched it up with some argyle patterned paper--and I hope Gael thinks this green is bright!
Here is the inside of my card:
