Karen's sketch, Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #72, was the perfect inspiration that I needed to get some masculine mojo. The Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #1 called for ribbon, of course, with a masculine theme....tough one. As you can see I used just a tad of ribbon, (not my usual full poofy bow) but I think it totally works to remain masculine! The designer series paper from the Summer Mini Catalog, Travel Journal, was a Godsend to keep the masculine look going, too....love the manly colors, so varsity!
You know what a fanatic I am over RIBBON, so I was super excited to find this fun new blog mentioned at my good friend, Chupa's blog...the Really Reasonable Ribbons Ramblings! You must go check it out and let them know I sent you:) AND, another fun new challenge blog, Always Playing with Paper, has a challenge for a Father's Day/Masculine theme as well! Don't you just love it when your card fits so many fun challenges?
Father's Day is coming up, so get some masculine craftiness started! Our Curtain Call Color Challenge next week may help you, too, in your masculine endeavors:) HA! In fact, this week's Curtain Call Color Challenge: {ACT 33} could totally work for a father, brother, son card, too!

Very nice, Stacey---but I would not expect anything less! Love this new DP, it is great for all those masculine occasions! Glad you could play along with our new challenge, too!
Stacey, this card is absolutely PERFECT. I love the little wisp of ribbon. Not "your" usual, but I think it is fabulous.

Wonderful multiple challenge card, Stacey. Love the subtle ribbon LOL! Great masculine card.
Stacey this is a perfect masculine design!!! Very cool looking!!! The new DP is so neat...can't wait to see the whole collection!!! Another awesome take on the CC and you rocked the ribbon challenge!!! Hugs ~S~
This is so fantastic, Stacey! I love the papers you combined, especially the map. What a clever use of the ribbon to keep things masculine!
What a great Father's Day Card! Thanks for joining our first Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge.
Stacey, congratulations on getting your card to fit so many challenges :-) Its a fabulous card. I love the metal clip on top of the sentiment. I love the use of the punch. Mixing the sentiment with the map is fantastic and I LOVE the color scheme. All round - just a great masculine card.
