I used Sketch Challenge 241, Basic Grey dp and Basic Grey clear stamps Insignia set. The images and sentiment are embossed in black. The color is actually a shimmery ruby.
So do you think I could get away with this for a masculine birthday card? HeÂ’s a bit of a renaissance man Â…
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Wow, this is beautiful! I'm glad to see you having so much fun with the challenge today. This could maybe be masculine for the right sort of guy... regardless, it's a gorgeous card!

Okay how many more IC cards am I going to find in today's gallery? Beautiful care with an sense of simplicity blended with elegance. A Masculine ... oh, I dunno know if I would consider this creation a masculine card. That's just me though. It's way too gorgeous to be wasted on a guy anyway!

What a great match for the original. However, because you used no ribbon or bling, it could go to a guy. I think it has a Middle Eastern flair about it.

The black embossing looks fabulous!
Okay, so I agree with Anne *Never repeat that!* This may be too gorgeous for a guy. If, however, said guy realizes how gorgeous said artist is then he may be worthy...
