The Embellish color trends challenge is a masculine card and there are some great entries out there. When I saw Karen and Jinny's card I knew I wanted to use tools and staples. I also wanted to try to incorporate Yvonne's challenge of embossing and sanding, because if we're talking a guy card what a great technique to add to the mix. It's a bit harder to see the sanding on the top card because I used cardboard instead of cardstock, but up close it gives the card the extra texture I was looking for. And I love that the blue ticket smeared, b/c the guy in my life isn't clean and he likes to get grease on things, so why not channel that into the card? The card below uses Karen's grid challenge from a previous Do More with Less guest designer challenge.

Great job making a couple very sweet masculine cards! I love your use of colors and textures.
These are both great- love all the texture- and really dig the lo (and the nap tickets!) of that top one!!
Staples, tools and sanding, I'd say these are perfect masculine cards.
VEry Very Cool!!!
These are perfectly masculine! I love the use of gray cardstock because it looks like embossed metal! Way cool! :)
Thanks for playing along with my guest Debbie's challenge Erin!! :)
Erin, these masculine cards are fabulous!! You nailed the Embellish challenge with the first card! I love those tickets, and of course they would have a couch on them. LOL
Great take on this challenge, Erin! Oooo! And I'm lovin' the depth of texture in those embossed panels! Scrumptious!
This is fabulous - that's one of my favorite embossing folders too! Thanks so much for playing along with my challenge! Awesome cards!
Great "Man" cards! I full on dread them, but you have some great stamps to play with and you did great with the challenges!
Oh yeah.....these are fantastic guy cards. Good job! Thank you so much for playing along in the Embellish Challenge.
