A couple of my DBIL’s have birthdays in March, and clean and simple always seems to work for the guys.
The two masks for stippling were made using a deckle ruler for one and a Nestabilities Deckled Mega Rectangle Die for the other.
Love the effect.. just something a little different from the usual straight edge mask.
Thanks for dropping by today. Happy Crafting!

Susan, these are really wonderful cards – not only for a man! I love the effect of those rulers and the idea, to make that rectancular frame (front card) is just gorgous!
Love the effect Susan!! What a wonderful way to use older stamps and make them so much different!!
OMGoodness! I was looking at cards on Pinterest and saw my name. I wish that I had the talent that ‘the other’ Susan Roberts has, lol. Those are beautiful.
I love this card, I saw it on Pinterest and repinned it to my Masculine cards for inspiration. Today I have hopped around just ‘looking’ on the net and ended up on your blog. I was delighted to see you’re the creator of this great card. Thanks so much for the inspiration, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed looking around at all your creations!
Happy Crafting,
