I was pleased with the way this card turned out as I was going for a masculine look and I think I nailed it. I used an Impression Obsession Geometric background die, cutting it from GinaK Blue Raspberry cardstock. I adhered it to a white card base, then put a black die-cut frame around the outside done with a Mama Elephant Park Avenue Framed tags die. The sentiment was done with a SNSS stamped sentiment, colored with Copics and die-cut with a MFT fishtail banner from black and white, while the blue panel was cut with a Lil Inker stitched diagonal die. I added a few black enamel stars from Taylored Expressions for the final touch.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:

Oh, yes, you have nailed a perfect masculine birthday card!!!! Such modern and brilliant design! Love the colours combo and that big banner as focal point matches very well with the geometric background!
What a fun design and a great one for a masculine being it is done in blue. Change up the colors and it could be for anyone I think.
Great colors and shapes for a masculine card. I do like that font for the bday message with it, too.

The background die is fabulous, saw something similar in the cameo shop. Love this card and that gorgeous blue really stands out...x
You DID nail it Carol! I love how masculine this card looks. Love the black, white and blue raspberry color combo. The happy birthday is so cool and I love the way you colored it in. Well done Carol! Hugs, Brenda
This is an awesome background cover die, and looks super with the blue shade. The blue & white, with the touches of black, very striking color combo as well. Also liked the tiny stars tucked around for extra details. TFS & Hugs
That is one cool looking background! Never think to put these colors together, but I really love the masculine feel to it! HUGS
