This is the last Birthday card I need to make for about 6 weeks. This one is for my Nephew Bryan. I really wanted to make something different but I have so much trouble with cards for men.
I really like the colors I used for this. I wanted to put something in the pocket. I thought money would be good because that is what I always give him but the colors didn't match and, let's face it, it's all about the card looking good. I then put the paper in to look like a hankerchief but it looked too clean so I crumbled it up and then put it in again. I like the touch of red on the card.
I embossed the light blue to give it a little more texture and then put my corners on it to do something other than just brads. The layout was just a fluke. I put the card down and it wasn't taped yet. The bottom square moved and I like it so I kept it that way.
My next birthday card is for a good friend of mine. She will be much easier! Lot's of choices and you can always fill it up with flowers and bling!
I hope everyone is having a great week. It is so hot here but I shouldn't complain when the news is filled with storms.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you like my card.

Great job on the male card, Peggy! It's funny, I think I do a better job on male and baby than I do on female! Love your hankerchief addition!
Your card came out wonderful! Bryan is going to love it. The hankerchief hanging out of the pocket all crumbled in a ball is just like Bryan. When those pants go in the wash the hankerchief will still be there in the pocket just like you have it in the card!
Great Job Peggy! What a great "guy" card. Your nephew will love it!
Well, aren't y0ou creative!!!! Great card and it is fabulous for a Manly card!
