Masculine Birthday and L'Shanah Tovah



This week, we are challenged to use florals on a masculine card at PTI Make it Monday #261.  I used Peaceful Gardens and Larger than Life and a masculine color palatte for my card.


I often use trees or leaves on masculine cards, but this is the first time I have actually used flowers.  I picked some flowers that did not look too floral, along with other nature images.




I am in the process of mass producing a bunch of Jewish New Years cards that I need to mail by next week.  The design fits the challege this week at The Paper Players #313: CAS Taste of Fall.



I used PTI What the Doodle Apple and a sentiment from L'Shanah Tovah.



Here is a peek at the inside.





Thanks for Visiting

  13. Both cards are great, Joyce! I pulled out Peaceful Garden also but ended up not using it. Love what you did with it though for your masculine card and great color choices. Your Jewish New Year cards are so sweet. I've got to go finish my card with hopes of winning. 😀

  15. oh Joyce! your floral masculine card is gorgeous! I definitely must pull out my Larger than Life for this challenge. I, too, am deep in the struggle of making 45 Rosh Hashanah cards to send next week. Very clever to use the What the Doodle apple!
    Shanah Tovah, Happy New Year!

  16. I think that's one of the toughest PTI challenges of the year but you rocked it! I especially like the bamboo on there. Your second card is awesome too. The green layer gives the design a lot of punch.

  17. These are both gorgeous, Joyce ... those florals really do feel masculine ... so cool! The L'Shanah Tovah apple is fabulous ... bold and graphic ... and what a great sentiment inside with the same smaller, almost tone on tone image to complement it! Hugs, Anita :)
