Masculine ?????





I actually made these cards for Keesh's challenge and was quite happy with them- but at the last minute (DOH!) realised that I had used the wrong colour!! It was meant to be RUBY red but I used Rose red- and now they don't look right to me anymore !! Honest opinions needed here please!! are they not suitable as masculine cards now?? Should I try to change them? I was a bit skeptical about having to include rose red in a masculine card-and now I know why!!!!

i think rose red is a bit of a chameleon colour, (like almost amethyst) paired with girly colours it looks pink but with darker colours like that grey it looks red. I think they're fine for a masculine card!

Hi Robyn, I think your cards would look a bit flat without the rose red! I certainly don't think it detracts from the masculine theme at all!! I was actually thinking what a great idea - male cards are always difficult.

I think your cards look Great Robyne! Male cards are such a challenge at the best of times. The rose red gives them a nice lift.....

I think the rose red coupled with those colors looks fantastic, and was thinking as I scrolled down that I just may have to case some of these babies!
