I had to do these beach challenges, because I wanted to use one of the adorable free digitals I received from Sande Poema. They are called Summer Textile. Can you tell the image looks like fabric? I distressed some tan paper and stamped on it for a beach. I hope this works for a masculine card. Thanks for looking.

Sharon, this beach critter card is packed with personality—the distressed tan paper sets the perfect sandy stage, and that Summer Textile digi looks wonderfully tactile, like it's stitched right onto the scene. The embossing adds dimension that feels almost sun-kissed, and the muted tones give it a subtle strength that absolutely works for a masculine vibe. Such a cool mix of texture and charm!

It looks like sn embroidery with maybe a bit of appliqué and it's just delightful. It made me smile the way the crab looks as if it's walking along a sandy road. I like your birdy beach too.
