This card was created for a challenge I do every Monday with a group of girls here. This week our challenge was to create a masculine card with PINK! We could use just a little bit of pink or a lot of pink as long as it had pink in the card and it was masculine! Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!! Yes that was my first thought for this challenge ......... male I can do, easy ............... I have tons of male themed stamps (can always do with more though ;) ) A pink male card well that was a scary thought! Anyway I found this background paper while out shopping recently which had pink it it but thought also had other male type colors too - so decided to use that for my card.

No fair! Your's is awesome! I love it and the pink looks good! What a fun layout and a cool, cool card! I think you could actually give this to a man and he would not even think twice about the pink!

I KNEW you'd rock this challenge! This is fabulous, Frances! Love the colors you matched with the pink to give it that masculine appearance. I like your use of the tab punch, the photo corners, and the brads, too!
