Mr Cardmaker Walks the Walk (Since He's ALREADY Talked the Talk)

Well, after my tirade (tirade, rant, whatever...) last Friday about using bright, saturated colors on masculine cards, I decided to put my money where my (BIG) mouth was, and come up with some cards that are LOADED with color. 
These are cards that are suitable for anyone, really, but they're ones that I am planning to use for guys' birthdays. You will notice, not a HINT of dusty blue (uck! Pheew!) in the bunch!

I made this--

 

Clean, simple, bold, bright, active. 

 

Then there's this--

 

 





Same idea. Sharp, crisp, colorful, with movement.  Oh yeah, I did that flag edge with a scalloped square die, turned on the diagonal.  Fun, right?  And that's SKY blue in there, not dusty blue, btw...

 

Look at this one--

 

 

Even with the bling, I think this is fine for a man.  Yes, I do.  (Uh, Baja Breeze, thank you...)

 

Look at THIS one--

(Is anybody thinking of Scarlett Johanson doing this "marble columns" skit from SNL, like I am?)

 

 

 

Ohmygawd, who is THIS card for, the POPE?! (uh, see afore mentioned video clip....)

Nope, this is for my Uncle Rich's 60th.  Looks masculine to me! (Yet still workable for anyone!)

 

So, you see?  I CAN do more than just run my mouth.  Fooled you, didn't I?  (Hey, I fooled myself...)

Oh yeah, and a decidedly more feminine one for you--

 

Look at THIS one--

 

And while the shapes and movement are similar to the other cards, clearly the colors take it in a more feminine direction, especially when you come to the abundance of pink !

 

Don't be afraid of COLOR COLOR COLOR when you are doing cards for men!   (We like colors, really!!)

 

Happy Weekend!  I have some exciting news to share, but I am under orders to keep it on the QT for now.  Stay tuned!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
All Best--
