Hi Everyone! Today, I'm participating in the Waltzing Mouse Blog Waltz. It's my first time and I'm really excited to share with you the theme for this month's waltz, i.e. Masculine cards.
Like most, I seldom make masculine cards simply because it's easier to make girly ones. So, this was a fun challenge for me. I decided to make a simple card with a masculine patterned paper, which is manageable for me (LOL!). Here's my card:

| Closer look at the card |
The stamped image was created from two stamp sets : Vintage Label 4 (frame) and Roses in Bloom (sentiment). I added some Antique Linen distress inks to the frame and three dots of Enamel Accents in black and finished it with some faux stitching in black.
What do you think? Did I do alright?
Thank YOU for stopping by. I hope you will have lots of fun and inspiration with the blog waltz!
Blessings,
p.s. I just added a new gadget for followers at the side. It's a new thing for me, so I'd be so thrilled if you like what I create & would like to follow my journey. Thank you ;)

I so agree with you - and the same with presents - so much easier for girls. But you rock this -your card couldn't be more masculine PERFECT! GREAT design!
HI Kary - yes I think you did it right!! Love the paper you've used. It's a super guy card!
Oh yes! This is gorgeous for any guy, love the paper and the use of the sentiment, not least because it came from the Roses in Bloom set!!!
This is wonderful Kary. Great masculine colors and patterns. This sentiment is perfect for that guy in your life. Nicely done!
So happy you joined the hop today Kary! love the papers you used with your great label sentiment!
I think that it is great that you used a sentiment from Roses in Bloom on a Masculine card! It looks so wonderful there!
Way to go on your first Waltz Kary. I love your card and that design paper is a really good choice. Love the sentiment panel.

brilliant card
You did great and I am following your journey. Your card is wonderful and the faux stitching is lovely.
Get your machine out and practice on some scraps of paper...you will love it once you get the 'stitch' of it.
Nice thoughtful masculine card Kary Lim, great job.
You did a great job with this masculine card.
Love the papers and the fabulous focus on the sentiment!! This card is so warm and charming!
Great job!! I love the papers you used and that sentiment makes my heart melt! Well done!
You definitely did all right! This is a perfect card! Lots of color and texture, and I love the sentiment you chose for this card.
Your card is fantastic! I love your choice of papers and the faux stitching that you created.
I can't believe you drew the faux stitching - they are all so evenly drawn. Good idea for a 'man' card. Like you, I too don't know how to make a man card and I always end up sending a girlie card instead :)
Very pretty, Kary! The frame is gorgeous! And I couldn't tell it wasn't real sewing lines! Looks perfect!
Hugs, Wendy
