One of the Mom's at my daughter's school asked if I had a masculine birthday card in my stash that would work for a 50 year old, well, of course I didn't! That was quite a realisation so you may see a few more masculine cards appearing on my blog, I need to make a few to keep for just these kinds of occassions.
So I made her one and liked it a lot and decided to make another using a slightly different tree image to keep in my stash. Here is the card I made for her to give to her friend:
Paper: cardstock (PTI)
Ink: Hero Arts Latte Chalk Ink
Stamps: Hero Arts (Many Birthday Messages; Envelope Liner Background); Darkroom Door (Trees)
Other: PTI Banner Die; EK Success border punch; twine
And this is the second card I made to keep in my personal stash using a different tree from the same Darkroom Door stamp set.
I also decided not to pop up the banners on this card.
I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who left me wonderful birthday wishes all over various social media yesterday, wow, I felt quite popular! You are all wonderful and I am so grateful to know all of you in some kind of way.
Wishing you all a totally fabulous day!

First let me say what a BAD blogging friend I am...Happy Belated Birthday sweet Brenda! I saw it was your birthday on Lisa's blog and completely forgot to come visit you!
Now about these cards...LOVE! Perfect colors and a perfect theme for the fellas! I need to make some more masculine cards myself ;)
This is the perfect masculine card! I love the stamps you used and the colors! Can't wait to see more!
Would like to wish you another time, Happy Belated Birthday, Brenda!
Great masculine card! Love the 3/4 stamped tree on the corner with the green banners!
This is a wonderful masculine card, Brenda - I can see a lot of possibilities with that tree!
You really rallied to the cause, Brenda! Masculine cards are so darn difficult because they can't be "cute". These are brilliant -m love the banners, both raised and flat.
this layout is spectacular! Ilove how you dropped the tree down and the colors are just perfect. I am not sure if I wished you a Happy Birthday....life has been beyond busy but I will now.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!!!!
This is so cool, Brenda! I love that row of flags and the twine is the perfect embellishment!
Okay, now this is jaw dropping gorgeous. Wow. oh my gosh, I can't stop starring at it's beauty. I love the stamping in the corner of the card and the colour is stunning. I so love your design and once again you have mastered the art of cardmaking. Thanks for inspiring me. And belated birthday greetings sweetie. I haven't been that great of a blog follower lately and I am sorry for that, but has life settles more for me and becomes less stressed, my time to blog becomes better. Wishing you and the family much happiness.
