You know that awful feeling you get when you climb into bed and notice a 4 inch spider lurking on your 9 foot ceiling....well, that's how I felt when I saw both "masculin" and "CAS" in one challenge. However, I needed a father's day card for DH, and the TLC had one of my favorite things...cloud backgrounds, so I gave it a try. There are no golf clubs, fishing poles, or sports themes which are usually associated with masculin cards. However I used incredible restraint and avoided a rainbow of bright colors surrounded by bling. TFL, Francie

Wow, Francie, what a stunning background, so romantic and dramatic. The golden glow and white spatter combine wonderfully with the dark clouds. Your silhouette is fabulous too. Laughing at your comparison of the challenge with spiders on the ceiling.

Absolutely breath-taking background! Was really hoping to find a little more detail on how you achieved that stark contrast between midnight clouds and golden glow . . . . altho even with instructions I don't think I could ever achieve such perfection!!!
It makes a perfect masculine card - especially if you & DH are dancers . . . Linda aka Bubbles

Very striking card girl....shows your love for your hubby. Again you have a very entertaining story to humor us....love it. When first seeing the card my thought was of smoke in your kitchen from your tales about the love of cooking! . Fav'd Thanks for sharing.
