Eek – not the dreaded masculine card, lol!  I know a lot of us card makers aren’t all that keen on making masculine cards as they tend to be less fussy, less “pretty” and don’t often give us as much freedom to get really creative as cards for fefmales do (but that could just be me, lol) .  I recently picked up this woodgrain paper pad and love it for giving a good amount of detail and texture but still be able to keep it CAS and masculine-looking.  I stamped the bow from the Waffle Flower Bowtiful stamp set in fog ink on three different wood papers and also covered the cream base card with a darker one for contract.  The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink and then I heat embossed it with a cream powder.  The bows were die cut and mounted on foam adhesive to finish – simples!!
