I decided to use Dawn's color challenge: http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/these_are_a_few_of_my_fav/2009/08/raspberry-suite-color-challenge-16.html as part of my Hero Arts challenge: http://heroarts.com/blogs/club/2009/08/31/the-men-of-hero-arts-its-our-man-week/ which is masculine cards.
The colors are very complimentary for a masculine card. 
I used the embossing powder to pick up the orange gold color which was the hardest to incorporate into the card.
Products:
- Zing - Butter
- Versafine - Vintage Sepia
- Kraft cardstock
- Ivory Cardstock
- Cornish Heritage Farms - Newspaper Print
- Hero Arts - Three Ferns
- Hero Arts - Birthday Messages
- Twine
- Washers

Really excellent combination of challenges. You ended up with such a great guy card!
ReplyDeletePerfect masculine card and I especially love the newspaper print.

I really like how some of your leaves are peeking out from behind the circle cut out and some extend beyond it. The patterned background paper is a great contrast to your graphic leaves.
ReplyDeleteLove those fern leaves with the newspaper stamp ... fabulous masculine design.
ReplyDeleteI love this layout and what you did with the "window"! Great work!!
ReplyDeleteSuzz - another awesome card. Love the 3 Ferns stamp - so great for all sorts of cards. The colours are great for male cards
