Good afternoon and this is my last Father's Day card that I'm going to make, promise. I had to make one more Father's Day card anyhow, so I decided to play in Mojo Monday 143 sketch challenge and this new challenge that I found called Cards for Men challenge 12. Cards for Men is a British challenge, relatively new, but the only challenge that I've seen and found so far that specifically focuses on masculine cards. With all of our chick bling that's habitually put on our cards, masculine cards are generally a challenge for a lot of us. I knew right away the paper that I had to use, which is a great combination of masculine with ever so subtle feminine touches. Overall, I'm very happy with how this card turned out.

I hope you come back and visit me tomorrow for our Tuesday Throwdown challenge 4. Until then, God bless you.
