Hi Friends! Happy Wednesday!
Yesterday, I was up on the BasicGrey blog with a couple of masculine card designs featuring the new South Pacific collection. And today I thought I’d share the first of them here with you, too.
My first card is a Father’s Day project, done up in a retro collage-style design that works perfectly for masculine cards. For this project, I stuck with the deeper, richer colors in this collection, in the blue and teal range, and paired them with neutrals and natural elements like twine.
I heavily inked this card, and distressed some of the paper edges to create a time-worn look. Then layered in lots of masculine elements like postage stamps, ledger papers, and ticket stubs.
I’ve got a second masculine South Pacific card up on the BasicGrey blog, if you’d like to see more. Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a wonderful day.

Love this Audrey! Classic and masculin, but gorgeous. Popped over to BasicGrey and the parrot card is fantastic! I’ll leave some live there, but really both are incredibly inspiring (which is nothing new for you!). 😄
This card is amazing Audrey! Love the neutrals paired with the teal and blue. Very vintage!
You amaze me with the things you put together. The elements make you want to examine each piece to see what it is. You always show me something new. Love this!
Wow, Audrey! You are the queen of layering! Fabulous masculine card with awesome layers! Love the ledger paper and ticket stubs! I must keep that in mind when making a masculine card! Wonderful color on the card, too! Thanks so much for the inspiration!:-)
Oh, this is awesome! I have such a hard time with masculine cards, you make it look so easy! Love this Audrey!
Absolute perfection Audrey, your card has all the right elements, colours and that refined vintage feel! Really love that palm tree, stands out so wonderfully!

Fabulous guy card! Love this!
Oh, I love all of the layers! This is perfect!
Awesome card, Audrey! I love the one over at the Basic Grey blog, too.
So gorgeous! LOVING the palm tree and the colors!!!!!!
Beautiful Card Audrey!
such a serene palette 😉
Those colors are definitely perfect for a male card. The papers make me think of some old log books and papers I have from my great-grandfather. I like the whimsy of the palm tree. Awesome work as always! Hugs!
Love the inking to get the time-worn look. The perfect masculine card! 🙂
Beautiful card – love the colors!!!!
Mmmm… love these colors… and I’m crazy about that palm tree. This is a wonderful masculine card with all these little bits tucked and layered. Now I must see the rest of this collection… it just might have my name written all over it!
Have a happy day, Audrey!
Those shades of teal are so eye-catching. Love all the inking and distressing and it is a perfectly balanced collage.
