I think a lot of crafters would agree that masculine cards in general are a challenge. My added challenge this weekend was that my craft room is totally packed up for home repairs. But I was blessed with a few hours of crafting time with friends and pulled out several envelopes of single card kits that I'd received quite some time ago.
As I worked through the sorting of the papers, ribbons, and sentiments I was reminded how generous this friend as always been with sending out such nice Happy Mail.
I selected two pieces from the combined stash and added some of my own to make today's Masculine Card.
The silhouette of the fisherman is printed on thick cardstock, I added the Copic coloring water shades and sunrise/sunset shades and die cut the stitched edge. The Scripture from Lamentations 3:23 was also in the gifts. I added the peach stars background paper and mounted all of the elements onto a standard A2 Bright Blue card base to complete my card entry.

A great, very moody scene you created. I love the soft colors of the sky and the beautifully blurred colors of the water.
