Perfectly Rustic Masculine

So its a new challenge today over at Perfectly Rustic - Masculine. I find masculine cards challenging; but in a good way - they make me think outside the box when it comes to embellishing as I can't just reach for flowers.

I thought I would get in early and make this one up for father's day for my husband, although this image from Karen's Doodles doesn't exactly represent us (we only have two kids and my daughter is older than my son) I couldn't resist the expression on the father's face.

Anniversary Centre Step Card

Here is my last Guest Designer Card for Fitztown. The Challenge today is A Step Card. I feel a step card is for something a little bit special so I have created a 40th wedding  anniversary card for my aunt and uncle. This is also a first for me and I have loved how Fitztown has been constantly challenging me to try new card layouts and concepts as their guest designer, it has been a great experience.
