Masculine card for Casual Fridays

I have a couple of male friends with birthdays coming up, so I needed some masculine cards - easier said than done!  So I went to CASual Fridays and Annabelle Stamps for some inspiration - and got it!  The challenge this week at CASual Fridays is CFC21:  Create a Clean And Simple project using at least 3 shades of a monochromatic color PLUS Brown.  The challenge at Annabelle Stamps is "Say it with a male card."

I went for blues plus brown.  I was particularly inspired by Karolyn Loncon's card at CASual Fridays, but she went with greens - you can find her blog post here.  

I was so happy with how this card turned out, I made 3 more!!!

      Two of the stamps are froma Stampin' Up set called Pocket Silhouettes. The open leaves I used on the background, the blue strip and the middle square is from another SU set, called Artfully Asian.
