These colors scream floral to me, so I was trying to stay away from doing florals. I also wanted to keep it more masculine. This is what I came up with. It's only a little bit floral. I love using the Bohemian Borders this way, and I think it makes the card more masculine.
Since I was going for masculine, I skipped dessert on this one.

I like this VERY much!!! And it definitely has a masculine feel to it. I love the coloring on your little bird! You're right, that border is the perfect touch! Beautiful!

I think this is a great masculine card Bev, and I love the background stenciling. Your work for this month as a guest designer has been outstanding-thank you for joining with us.
