By the Tide Masculine Card

I CASeD this card from Ellen Fewkes.  She made a wonderful masculine card.  Please check it out here.  The only thing I decided to change was the Netting background to a striped background stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set instead.  I did make two cards with this layout but changed the direction on one of the cards.  This masculine card allowed me to use up some of the Midnight Muse card stock and ribbon I have that is retiring at the end of this month. I love how the lobster is the focal point for this masculine card. 

If you don't need a Father's Day card, copy this layout and card design as a masculine birthday card or thank you card instead.  This card's layout can easily go with any stamp set or greeting.  So get out your retiring card stock and start stamping out a few masculine cards today!
