Here's a card I made for a very dear friend in America, trying to get over that cards-for-a-man problem ;)
Brown and blue - my go-to male colours (probably should expand my boundaries in that regard!), along with a Hero Arts stamp coloured with Copics.
Do you like the funky background? I picked that up from the fabulous Jennifer McGuire - embossing a piece of coloured card-stock (must have a white core) with the Cuttlebug swiss dots folder, sanding it to reveal white dots, then colouring the dots with markers.
I hope everyone has a great weekend, it's been a fascinating day for a self-confessed news junkie like myself so who knows what the weekend will bring?!
Recipe:
Stamps - Birthday Frame and Messages (Hero Arts)
Ink - Memento
Card - Memory Box Vanilla Bean/Stamping Up Bashful Blue
Other - linen thread/button/Cuttlebug embossing folder/Copic markers/stickles

Great tip about the embossing folder, will have to dig out some colour core card and give it a go. I know wht you mean about go to colours, this is such a great colour combo for a male card though x
Take care & enjoy your weekend x

Yummy card for a male - you've definitely cracked the male card problem that I still seem to have! LOL!
Soggy weekends mean more time to play in my book! I'm a self confessed news junkie too - always have it on in the background! Just hoping for some good news soon....
