Welcome
This is a masculine card that started with the paper that came as a freebie years ago from Paulette at Create with TLC, called Dad's Honey Do Paper.
I teamed it up with some gray card I embossed with a retro squares folder.

I then cut several pieces of blue card with a SB zig-zag edge die to form some borders.

Then a scalloped oval, a plain oval that I sponged lightly with blue ink,

and then the final layer was an embossed SB label cut from silver card, with a blue embossed sentiment.
All cuts were made on my wonderful, faithful Cuttlebug.
The final touch were some black half pearls.
I don't think I have ever used so many layers to form a masculine card, but I was more than happy with the outcome.

Love blue, white and silver combination
I love how your embossing folder perfectly matches the Dp you used, and the shimmery paper is so elegant- love it! he pop of the darker blue from your die cuts is a perfect touch to finish off your card.
That pearlized paper is stunning, Maxine. I want you to know how very grateful I am for all your kind comments and words of encouragement. I appreciate you SO MUCH and I thank you for sharing your art in our challenges. May God bless you always, my dear friend.

Nice card for the men. Love the oval die cut. Thanks for joining us at Melonheadz Friends, see you Monday for a new challenge :)
Love that your EF design seemed to 'match' so well with your dp. This is a great masculine card and I am so loving your layers! Really well done, and actually, I think it would work wonderfully for either gender. The shape of the center die could be the 'feminine' touch, if need be. Really great card all round. Loved all the different shapes you've added to this lovely card. TFS
Great texture and layers on this card. Thank you for participating in our October challenge: Die/punch at House of Cards.
