Birthday Sails

This card was inspired by K. Werner's color challenge for the week. I designed this card for my husband's childhood (now adult) friend. Masculine cards are very challenging, but interesting in the end. I repeated the colors a lot and even added some scored lines at the bottom. I like to create a lot of texture in masculine cards. I think that's the trick. So, I added some buttons, distressing, and used lots of foam adhesive.

Thanks for taking a peek! Have a great Saturday!!
