Male card month?

Hi every one!  I was joking recently about making May Male card month.............. and that's what seems to be happening.

I struggle with men's cards as do most people i think so thought I'd try and get over my barrier there so here's my first male card of the month!

I know slightly stereo typical tools but I figured I'd start at the beginning :)

and the inside pops up like so, I got this idea while looking for a fancy gift box in google images ( not sure really how this came up)  and unfortunately I didn't save the link but it looked something like this and I thought I'd recreate something similar using all my gorgeous SU stash

I used:

Polka dot background and the sanded background stamps

Occasional greetings and on a pedestal stamp sets

Large star punch 1" circle punch

Chcocolate Chip, Ruby Red inks

Shimmer paint in champagne mist and platinum

white gel pen and sponge daubers

Thanks for stopping by!
