Here we are again at another challenge for Watercooler Wednesday and its Marsha's Masculine 'Anything Goes'. I have to admit I don't have any masculine type stamps - I used to use Wetlands but since it retired I haven't really purchased any SU stamps with a masculine theme. What I quite like doing though is thinking a bit outside of the box and using other stamps and papers to bring a masculine feel.
My card today uses some of the new Designer Series Paper called Coffee Break from the Coffee Suite - oh my if you haven't seen these papers yet you are missing a real treat. They are so gorgeous - here you see both sides of the one sheet - and I just love those blues. I've made a small envelope using the Envelope Punch Board to add to the front of the card and added the little note with the sentiments both coming from Best Birds.
I've added a touch of our new gorgeous ribbons - this one is Classic Weave ribbon in Crumb Cake. I added a small enamel shape - a heart - that still keeps the card masculine right?
I hope you come and join us at Watercooler Wednesday challenge this week - do pop and visit the rest of the Design Team and leave us a comment - we love to hear from you. Just click on the Watercooler Logo at the top of the page to play along.

Great card for the masculine challenge this week Fiona. I really like that paper especially the blue pattern paired up with the darker card stock. The little pocket with the sentiment is a nice touch too. Thanks for sharing.
It's so nice to see a masculine card using gorgeous papers.
This is perfect.

Thank you sometimes we forget about just using papers and how good they can look
Great combination of colours, Fiona. I love the way you've used those Designer Papers.
