I'm so thrilled I had a little time to create tonight. This card was inspired by some Simply Elegant Designs by Toni at Inkyfingers Everyday Art.
I also wanted to incorporate this week's SCS Color Challenge, as well as the Daring Cardmakers Mix It Up Challenge (to mix up those genders and create cards with a little bit of something not normally found for that sex).
These colors felt masculine to me, so I decided to incorporate twill instead of ribbon. Even though the embossed design is floral, I think it works as masculine in these colors. I even added a tiny touch of bling (guys can like bling too).
This is very sweet!

Of course guys can like bling, too. My Ron likes when I include old buttons on cards I make for him. Love the colors of this card.
