I've been working on masculine cards, too!! This one is outstanding!! You found great inspiration in your poster choice. I love the neutral/natural-looking embellishments. Super job on coloring that great image! And I love those trees. Great job on the challenge!!

Irene, the beauty of water is very moving for me, so to speak. It's all about nature and loving life. This masculine card speaks ever so well to that sense of peace and calmness your card projects.

Wow! I can see why your card was mentioned in the Fav's of the Week thread! My goodness- this is outstanding! I love it all, but especially the twine in the corner punch! A 'wowzer' card for certain! Thanks for sharing!
