SSCC - Masculine Cards

Hi there! It's time for this week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge. Lisa Hjulberg is our hostess this week.

Challenge
Make a Father's Day card or project, or a masculine card.

I already have all of my Father's Day cards made, and I'm always in need of masculine cards, so I chose to make a masculine birthday card to add to my stash.

Can you believe I made this entire card without a single sheet of patterned paper?! I stamped this image from With Deepest Sympathy by Our Daily Bread Designs in Memento Tuxedo Black on Choice Snow White cardstock. I love that stamp set because while it has sympathy sentiments, the image alone is also perfect for masculine cards.

I cut out the image with rectangle Nestabilities and layered it on some Birchtone Dark Prism cardstock that I punched with the Fiskars Apron Lace border punch. My background paper is Bazzill Kraft, which I ran through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I printed the sentiment "wishing you a relaxing birthday" on my computer. I added some hemp twine and a button to finish off the card.

Oh, by the way, I followed Taylored Expressions Sketch #117 for my card, and I am also entering this card in this week's Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge to use blue, green, and yellow with neutral colors on your card.
