Manly card? Feminine card? Why not both

Hi!

I got a chance to play along with the mini VSN (Virtual Stamp Night) over at SCS this weekend.

Oh, and just a heads up the main VSN will start on September 13th. Y'all will definitely want to play along with us.

The challenge which can be found here: SEP13VSNMINIB Title: Men & Women

The challenge was to create two cards using about the same elements but make one masculine and the other feminine.

I'm also entering these cards into the One Crazy Stamper August Birthday Challenge and Guest DT Call.

Stamps: CTMH Joyful Birthday Occasions, Unity Stamp Co. Cowgirl Up, SU! Starstruck
Paper: SU! Chocolate Chip
Ink: CTMH Cotton Candy, Archival Black
Accessories: CM Small Circle ShapeMaker, MFT Die-namics Star Stax, CTMH Durables Round Studs

So what do you think? Do you think these cards do well to represent for masculine and feminine?

Have you ever tried to challenge yourself to do something similar to this? If so I'd love to see what you created.

Happy Crafting,
M.E.

to be considered for it.
