I always struggle with masculine cards but needed a Get Well / feel better card for my Godfather. The travel theme for today's challenge seemed like a good jumping off point!
I die cut my bicycle 3 times then layered the various colors for interest. (I did cut off the balloons as that seemed to fussy for a man's card) I had planned to sponge in clouds for a bg but then ran across this cool topography DSP - even easier AND masculine looking - I framed it in red to match the bike and add more of a cheery feel - Stamped the sentiment in Ruby and embossed with clear powder.

Linda, the bicycle is gorgeous against the lovely map designer paper! Your card is a great response to the challenge, and it is a wonderful "get well" card!

Linda, your red bicycle with flowers is the perfect image to cheer anyone up! I like the subtle look of your mapped bg and will surely bring smiles to your Godfathers face!

That DP is perfect! A wonderful masculine get well card! Isn't it so great when a challenge jump starts a card that you're otherwise stuck on. I guess that's why we come back here every day, right?
