I made this masculine happy birthday card for my husband. This is the 30th birthday that I have celebrated with him - a store card just wouldn't do!! I think the key to a masculine card is to keep it simple. Gray DS paper was layered onto sahara sand squares - using the 1" punch for the DS paper and the 1-1/4" punch for the sahara sand squares. The sentiment stamp is retired but was stamped in gray ink onto the gray background of the card.
