Week is halfway done. Time for a Watercooler Wednesday challenge!
Theme this week as you can see, masculine!
I always seem to gravitate towards simple, clean, darker colors.This is what I designed –
I started with stamping the ‘happy’ sentiment on the Wood Textures paper. I just built the card from there. Adding elements such as the stamped party hats and then the adding the presents as I went along. It just needed a little something at each step.
And, it’s not too overdone. You agree?
Need a little more inspiration? Well, check out our Watercooler Wednesday blog. Some great ideas that everyone came up with. You can also link your creation to our challenge there as well.

This is a great masculine card Libby. Like the mix of woodgrain with the Dapper Denim and Real Red, very manly. The birthday packages in the background really pull it all together.
Libby says
Thank you, Penny!

Not over done at all. It looks perfect to me.
I love your homemade background with the stamped presents and hats.
A great ‘guy’ card.
Thanks for choosing my ‘Bloody Nora’ card at Watercooler.
It’s such a thrill to see it up there.
