Men, Men, Manly Men...

Hello Stampers~

Today I thought I'd share a couple of the cards I did in my recent masculine cards class.  This first one was inspired by a card made by the fabulous Jodi Collins.  I used mirrored silver cardstock for the saw blade, and made the "teeth" with one of my Spellbinders Borderabilities.  You could also use pinking sheers.  The card size is 6" x 3".

Here's a better view of the shiny blade:

My second card is a super-easy tuxedo card, inspired by the ever-talented Mary Fish.  This card size is 4" square and can be made in all of 10 minutes flat! :)

If you enjoyed these masculine card samples, and are hungry for more...you'll definitely want to check back tomorrow for Flourishes Friday Focus.  Just sayin'! ;)

Have a terrific Thursday, friends!  Thanks so much for visiting with me today!

Hugs,

~Cindy

wow, all 3 cards are wonderful. Love the scenic one the best I think. The saw is such a great idea. Love all the little details you put on it. The tux has such simple elements to it, but looks fabulous and the sentiment is perfect.

PS had a tour of your art space. Looks like a great room. Thanks for posting those. I love looking at others art rooms.
