Masculine Monday - Traveler and Guy Greetings

It's a Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK - and true to form for the weather on such days, its rather overcast and grim, though no rain yet where I live!  Anyway, to brighten things up a little here is my latest card designed with men in mind.  I have used three stamps sets, and masking techniques to create a background on the card base.  I do think that I should have used a smaller sentiment, but I still quite like it.

Stampin' Up! Materials Used:
Stamp Sets - Traveler, Guy Greetings, Awesomely Artistic
Ink Pads - Pool Party, Island Indigo, Soft Suede
Card - Whisper White, Whisper White thick card
Other - Fine tip glue

It's time for another Floral Friday card, and today I thought I would treat you to a peek of the new In Colours coming next week - yes on the 1st June the new annual catalogue along with 5 new In Colours will be launched!  I have used Flirty Flamingo, one of my favourites (along with Peekaboo Peach) - so look out for some cards using both colours next week!
