More Masculine cards!

I love this Mocha Morning Specialty Designer series paper, so much so that I hoard it instead of using it!  It is on page 183, #122366, $12.95. This package of 12 x 12 inch paper comes in 12 sheets, 2 each of 2 single-sided designs with black flocking (very elegant), and 2 sheets each of 4 double-sided designs and the patterns include metallic ink!  The top card has a Soft Suede card base with a layer of Early Espresso textured with the Houndstooth embossing folder.  The bottom card has an Early Espresso card base.  I used the postage stamp punch and the 1 inch square punch again.  The sentiment is from the Sweet Cake stamp set from the Occasions Mini catalog.  I like this "Happy Birthday".   It is a nice, bold image and great for masculine cards!
