I got a few emails with challenges that interested me. So, I'm playing along.
First off, Less is More #466 - Masculine. This is an easy one for me! Most of my cards are for guys.
I really like these floating type of cards. Using the colors makes it a masculine card. I used Tim Holtz Slim Leaves Die, glued the cuts onto a piece of acetate, and cut out a rectangle using some stitched rectangle dies.
My Happy Birthday is actually a FOILED sentiment. Yeah, I really need to use that machine more! It does rather class up the card. I love the font of this too.

I went on to play in the AAA Birthday #38 - Flowers, and Simon Says Wednesday; Bright & Cheerful.
I used one of the oldest dies I have for these fun flowers. [Seriously, 20+ years old!] Lordy, but I can not give away dies -- they are timeless.
I matched them up with a [new to me] HB die from Lawn Fawn. It's so fun! I also love that it's all connected. Makes it so much easier to place on a card!
That's it for today. Thanks Challenges - I had fun!
Thanks for stopping by~

What a FUN design on your first card and so perfect for a guy! Your floral card is charming. Love them both!
Awesome cards with great color palettes! You are the master of masculine!
Great cards! I really love the colorful flowers and the Happy Birthday sentiment!
I followed the link to the HB die and it's from Avery Elle! I wondered if you'd only used part of Lawn Fawn's 'HB to You' die and just trimmed of the 'to you' part....
I love the fun cards you have made! So bright and beautiful with the cheerful colors!
Two gorgeous cards for very different challenges...Love them both Vicki. Your floating guy birthday card is so clever and creative, my friend. I loved your color combo and foiled birthday sentiment too. Your 2nd birthday card makes your old and loved die cut flowers in mod color look so creative modern. TFS both...Love and hugs..Nancy
Both cards are awesome, Vicki. I am so in love with your masculine card for Less Is More. Absolutely fabulous. I love the floating pieces. I love the colors. I love the foiled sentiment. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful creation with us at Less Is More.
Popped across from LIM to admire your splendid masculine make but your other make is lush too

Super masculine card for our challenge - the stitched border is very effective and the foiled greeting stands out. Thanks for playing along with us at Less is More :)
