Masculine Birthday

I had a masculine birthday card to make for my Father-in-Law's upcoming birthday and this is what I came up with. I have a really hard time coming up with masculine themed cards, I really prefer to make ones that are 'girly' and fun! Anyway, this card is rather plain, but I guess it will do. It's hard to not over-embellish it and have it take away from looking masculine...am I alone here on this one? lol :)

Well, I have to go get ready for work. I'm hoping to post something tomorrow for an end of year teacher's gift that I have in mind.

Thanks for stoppin' by! :)
