Big Thanks - Masculine

Masculine cards are the assignment at Alphabet Challenge Blog. I find I struggle with masculine cards, likely because I'm drawn to the bright rainbow hues. Although, what guy doesn't like a rainbow?

For my card today, I decided to try to stick to true masculine, and I found myself drawn to a not-so-cute pattern paper from an old Halloween paper pack. 

This was a Halloween pack from Authentique. The patterns were just perfect for masculine. In fact, any of these would make a great tie (just saying). 

The lettering from Catherine Pooler Designs also is great for a masculine card. 

Kept it simple . . . hope you find a way to keep it simple.

Cheers!
