Valerie's Masculine Card Challenge

Here's mine:

My challenge is a little bit self-centered , because I need help making masculine cards. I love using the color pink and flowers and lace and all kind of feminine things on cards, but when it comes to creating a birthday card for the men in my life, I always draw a blank.

SO, my challenge for you is to make a masculine card. Show me how it's done! Oh, and while you're at it, do a little distressing one the card (ink, sanding, etc.). I think distressing sounds like a masculine thing to do. Have fun. I can't wait to get some ideas from all of you.

I'm not good with masculine either. But I'm giving it a try. Actually it's the hardest challenge so I'm doing it first so I can get on to the flowers and frilly stuff...LOL! (I added the tag for Steph's challenge)

Cool card & tag, Berta! I love the stitching. Great choice of colors for a mascline card.

Great card, Berta. Love the design and colors. Now get busy with the frilly stuff!!
