I am loving this set of papers and die cuts, they make such wonderful masculine cards. I added a lighter piece of paper to the right to brighten the card up a bit, seemed a little to dark with all the wood. I added a strip of extra paper I had from the kit between the two papers and that still looked like something was missing so I added a sticker strip down the side between them. I had this extra piece of wood paper left too and thought it would give a little extra something to let the sentiment stand out a little more as well as the gems.
- Paper Rose Studio - Lakeside Memories 6x6 papers and Embossed die cuts
- Hot off the press - Sarabooks Ivory Papers (paper on the right side)
- Spellbinders - Lg. Deckled Rectangle die
- Hot off the press - 63 Thin line borders stickers
- Simon Says Stamps - Tiny words Birthday sentiment stamp
- Ki - Black gems

Beautiful card. Fabulous decorative paper. Nice job putting it all together. It's got such a calm warm feel to it.
That patterned paper looks like a painting! I like your card design with all the layers, great masculine card. Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players!
The scene radiates a special sense of calm, and you’ve captured it beautifully. The natural colors complement it perfectly.
It's beautiful xoxo
This is a great masculine card! I love the scene and your card design.
Fantastic masculine card! I love all of the wood like look and that image is so pretty--err handsome and serene! Truly a best birthday card!
You're so right Connie, those papers, including the gorgeous scene, are so perfect for a masculine card. The added borders and the wood label with the sentiment stamp are great design elements too. Thank you so much for joining in with the Paper Players this week!
Awesome masculine card!!
Such a beautiful masculine card. Love the rustic northwoods look of it. 😍
What a fabulous image---perfect for a guy card, but really could be used for just about anyone! Love it! Thanks so much for playing with our challenge this week at the Paper Players!
The beautiful focal point and the textures of the wood grain give this card a really pleasing serenity and stillness - perfect male card. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
Stunning card. Blessings.
I love how you combined the rich wood textures with the lighter panel and the thin border strip because the balance of tones creates a warm masculine look while the added wood piece behind the sentiment and the gems gives the whole design a polished finished feel.
What an awesome guy card!! You nailed it! Love the image and the papers. Your layout is perfect too!
LOVE THIS!!! Absolutely awesome masculine card! Fabulous inspiration ... thanks!
