Some days its so hard to come up with cards for men, and whats worse there are to be no over the top embellishments. These guys just don't do cute!!!
And I love making cute cards......
These have both been created using the Stampin Up Autumn collection papers.
The top one I have also used the Autumn collection stamps as well
I have distressed around the edges in Wild Honey and Walnut Stain.
All images stamped with Colorbox Chalk Brown.
This card has been stamped with the pine tree from Stampin Ups Lovely as a tree set.
I have distressed the edges with Fired Brick and Walnut Stain.
Image and sentiment stamped with Colorbox Chalk Brown.
I will be entering the cards in the following challenges

Great seeing more mens cards. I was last minute with my entry at Charisma Cardz this week and it's only now I'm managing to take a look at what others did. Thanks for the inspiration and letting me come and look at your blog.
