This is my sample for CC691. I am your hostess this week and I have chosen dapper denim, tangerine tango and sahara sand for my color trio. Dessert Option this week is soft suede. Yes, itÂ’s a 4th color for dessert.
These colors are screaming masculine to me. Good thing because I needed another FatherÂ’s Day card. This one is for my son and he is a big Nascar Racing fan. So I created my card with that in mind.
The dies are all from the CottageCutz “Just For Guys” release. I used the Racecars & Flags + the Build-A-Sign dies. Pieces are all cut in the challenge colors.
Background dapper denim striped dsp is from the Stampin’-Up “by the shore” collection. I also used a strip of basic gray dsp for the racetrack road. The sentiments are from the May “manly moments” Paper Pumpkin kit.
ThatÂ’s my sample. I hope you will play along with us this week. We always need masculine cards in our stash or you can use the colors for another type card.

Mary, the colors look fantastic on your masculine card. The flags, race car, and light system are gorgeous. I would not think of using an orange on a masculine card, but it looks great! Got to broaden my thinking. LOL Thanks for a great color challenge!!

Mary, you & I were on the same wave length with masculine colors and thrilled with these colors. Your race car theme is a real winner! These diecuts are fun-tastic!!!
