Way cool!

Masculine cards seem to pose a challenge for most people. I'd probably include myself in that except that in certain moods I'm drawn to clean graphic lines and minimal fuss - qualities that lend themselves well to more masculine projects.

This one throws in a little whimsy as well. I dithered over whether or not to get the "Cool Dudes I" set and in the end I just couldn't resist it for this little tortoise in his shades! All the characters in this set are playing the cool role to the hilt with their sunnies at the fore! Really fast and fun to colour so you can have a card done in no time, too - love that!

I used Coredinations cardstock and did some scoring and sanding for textural interest that kept to the masculine "plainness" of the design.
