Do you get stumped when trying to create a masculine card? Try the Magnificant Lion.

One of the things I hear from my Facebook "Likes", Twitter, my Blog, Newsletters Subscribers is can you show more masculine cards.   I think a lot of people get a littled stumped when it comes to creating masculine cards.   Well the Zoo Review Stamp set might just be your answer.  I love the Zoo review Stamp Set.  It's very versatile and the life like likeness of the the animals have me reaching for this set for many occasions.   An example of this is the card I created the other day for my Father In Laws birthday.  

I chose the Magnficant Lion to create this card for the King of the Mason Household, none other than Father in Law Mich.  I used the Houndstooth Embossing folder with the Big Shot Machine  and  the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the Holiday Catalog.  (Holiday Catalog goes live August 1st! ) .

I also grabbed the Bring on the Cake Stamp set for the greeting, the Brushed Bronze Designer Buttons (Holiday Catalog) My Stampin' Write Markers and Early Espresso Bakers Twine.
