Hi Everyone!  

I always love the Masculine Challenge the most, because who doesn't need more Masculine cards.   A big welcome to Helen Finlay one of the new Design Team Artists.  Check out her card - I just love those little racoons peering through the window.  So Cute! 

 

The card I made for this Challenge looks like it could be used for Valentine's day, but it was made for my husband's birthday next week.  The little plane is soaring through all those clouds and pulling love hearts as well.

My card was a fun card to make.   It is very colorful as I used an alcohol ink back ground.   Used as a drop behind the die cut it turns into a beautiful colorful sea.  I also used a die cut from Swirly Scribbles to accent the side of the card stock.
