For my card, I am using one of ODBD new October Releases called With Heartfelt Sympathy. I love this cattail image and I think it is a great image to make manly cards for all kinds of occasions. While I thought these colors for the color challenge would make a great man card, I think my addition of two rows of sheer ribbon and bow detailing definitely girled it up a bit. Hey...I never know where a card will end up when I start making it.
