CTD24 – Would you send this to a guy?
YAY!!! It’s time to start up the Color Throwdown challenges for the new year. Are you ready? LeAnne is starting us off with some great masculine colors. At least that’s what came to my mind. When I asked BF George if he thought this was a masculine birthday card, he said “Only if those are weeds and not flowers.”!!
Before I show you the card, let me tell you how excited I am to have 2 new members on the Color Throwdown team!! I was sad to hear that Kim had to leave us, but now we’re welcoming the mega-talented Barbara Anders and the super cute and super talented, Danielle Kennedy. Please help us in welcoming them and be sure to check out their very first CTD creations!
So what do you think? Would you send this to a guy?
Please play along with us! Upload your card to your blog or favorite online gallery and link it directly to today’s Color Throwdown blog post. We’re starting a new feature this year too. We’ll be choosing our favorite card each week and featuring it on the blog. So here’s your chance to shine! Link your card!!
Thanks for visiting today! See you soon!

I would definitely send this to a guy! well, I’m a bit bad at remembering to get my cards in the mail, so maybe not, LOL but I think this is perfect for a guy! Love this color combo!
Awesome guy card – love the out of the box detail.
Yes, I would totally send this to a guy! It’s awesome, Broni! I agree wtih Cathy… love the outside-the-box flowers!
Most definately I would send this to a guy!! The colors and the “floral” hardware are PERFECT!! Great job!
What a beautiful birthday card, Broni!! I love those colors, patterned papers, and pretty brads!! Of course those silhouette flowers are a fave. too!!
Oh, your BF George is a hoot! Maybe if you stamped a John Deere tractor way, way off in the background he would like it!!! I think it is a wonderful card and I forgot I have that same DP–would have matched perfectly!!! I love how the “weeds” at the top have been cut out—perfect little extra touch!
LeAnne
Definitely! I think the colors are perfect and those could be weeds and not flowers, in a man’s eyes! HA! I think it looks masculine!!
I think it is an awesome guy card!!
Sooo pretty, Broni!!! I love the colors and stamps you used…such an awesome design!!! Your George sounds like my George….hummmmmm!!!!
I think this is an aweseome masculine card! It’s not too flowery to make a guy cringe-but you can just tell him it IS weeds, just incase, lol! I love that dp and the brads! Very nice!
This is gorgeous, Broni! I think a guy would be pleased to get a card like this. I think it would been in a “nature” category not really a “flower” card. Miss you on JBE!
Broni, I would never have thought of these as “guy” colors but you’re right!!! Thanks for removing the tunnel vision that I often have. Great card for *anyone* but it definitely qualifies as a guy card.
Funky colors I couldn’t use to make a card. You did very nice work.
This is a great card, even for a guy, especially with these colors. Love George’s comment though!
I think that you can send it to a guy! The colors are perfect and I like the embellishments!
Very nice, Broni! Love the colors! (And lol about the weeds!)
WOW!!!
Beautiful use of those colors!!!!!
FABULOUS out-of-the-boxness!
