PTI MIM #261: Using Florals On A Masculine Project

Whose idea was this anyone? It's not as easy as Betsy made it look, but I had to take the challenge anyway. How can I not when there's a sweet gift certificate at stake? Anyway, you can see her video and challenge details on Nichole's blog here. Here's what I came up with just in time for some Fall masculine birthdays.





Can't wait to see what others came up with so I can CASE some masculine cards. 

Thanks for stopping by, and I really do appreciate your comments. 


Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White, Kraft and Simply Chartreuse
Ink: Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Canyon Clay, Terracotta Tile, Summer Sunrise and Dark Chocolate
Stamps: Painted Petals, Rosie Posie, Rosie Posie II, Spruce & Sprigs and Keep It Simple: Birthday
Dies: Painted Petals, Rosie Posie, Spruce & Sprigs and SU Top Note 
Other: Woodgrain Impression Plate, Sponge Dauber and SU Dimensionals

Kathy, what a wonderful, masculine looking card! Perfect for a Fall birthday with the green, brown and orange family colors you selected. The addition of the woodgrain background is the icing on the cake. Love it!

I LOVE what you did here, Kathy. Masculine and autumn, richly gathered into a bouquet. Even the sentiment banner, so manly! Gorgeous!

Oh Kathy, I just love this! I had to laugh when I read your comment and then came here to see that you struggled with this challenge too. Betsy did make it look easy. But your card has a great masculine feel to it and I love the design. The wood panel is a clever and perfect background. Love it!!

More gorgeous neutral colors. What a pretty collection of natural elements, including woodgrain.
