I took advantage of the color challenge to get three masculine birthday cards done! I have such a hard time with guy cards and am always in need. We have five February birthdays and four of them are male. I used some of the SU Apple Cider DP for the frames, made with Nestabilities Labels 4 and Classic Ovals. The leaves were done with SU sizzlits leaf die, the bird (from Always) was stamped and cutout as well as the sailboat (from Papertrey's Men of Life). The outer part of the frames and accent elements are popped up with foam tape. The sentiments were stamped with basic gray.

I totally identify, masculine cards are hard for me too, and I found these colors work really well for them! I love how you've done the labels and sentiment in layers with dp, I haven't tried this before and it looks wonderful - great images, I'm not sure which one is my favorite, it's a toss up between the bird and the sailboat, but all three are fabuluos!!

Wow Sue.....I LOVE all 3 of your guy cards. This is the perfect CC and I love the CAS style. Guys like that too....at least Denny does :-) Your popped up label frame and each popped up Basic Grey image are just great! Into my fav's....TFS
