Thanks AussieKyle and Emily for bringing us this vibrant color challenge! It took me awhile to get the mojo flowing, yet when I gave into the regal rose as my card base, it was all good!
I don't know about you, but I can't help but chuckle at my sentiment! I wanted to use hunking huge flowers with blossoms of every sort to portray the variety of MASTERPIECES we are! Anna Griffins' new paper group was my source for the flowers which I fussy cut, and embossed in varying bits. I popped petals for dimension and to draw the eye to that fun saying. I stamped the SU paisley bg in two shades of pink (Marvy rose red/ TI di worn lipstick) and joined them together with a velvet pink zig-zag ribbon. My sentiment panel is cuttlebugged with the rectangle nestabilities. The scalloped base is real red that has been inked with the SU plaid bg in ChalkBox lipstick red. The so saffron was stamped with TI di scattered straw using Impress' distressed floral bg. The sentiment itself was inked with TI di walnut stain. I also popped on foam.
I'm remembering that both men and WOmen are fearfully and wonderfully made and that a sense of HUMOR was high on the list of our maker! Thanks so much for your comments...I do hope this has given you a chuckle!!!

Chuckle I did. Laughed right out loud. I love this sentiment. I think you need it in your signature line. This is so true. My hubby has a great sense of humor about the whole M/F difference.
Love your layout. Those flowers just flow up and down this card. Great dimension. I always love to see what you create. I truely love your wisdom and insight into this vast world. TFS
