In my opinion a masculine card should not have ribbons and bows. The small exception might be if that ribbon just happens to be denim. I have been saving this denim ribbon for a while, and thought it would fit perfectly with this newly released stamp, Rustic Water Mill.
Creating this Card:
The card went together quite quickly once the image was colored up. All I did to create this card was to die cut a circle using the Pierced and Stitched circle die on the black and red Tartan paper. I wanted to make sure the circle was more towards the right side so that I could add my ribbon. Once it was die cut I popped it up over the image. The ribbon was wrapped around the front of the card, and then I made a bow and attached with glue dots. To finish it off I added some fun brads and a little chipboard sentiment.

I cannot tell you how much I love this card. Everything about it. It is masculine without being boring. I love the plaid background and how you matched up the denim ribbon with the sentiment. And, as always, your coloring is amazing.
Absolutely gorgeous card!!!
Great guy card.
