I struggled with this theme, last time I used it, so went online, to get some ideas. I saw many chevron shaped cards, and as I haven't done a fold for an age, I decided to give it a go.
Going through my paper pads, I came across a double sided pattern that I thought was suitable for the male species, so I cut the shapes needed, folded them and placed them onto a 6x6 card. They didn't fit as I wanted, so I cut a piece of card to fit them, then decided to emboss it. The pieces were arranged onto the embossed card, then the sentiment was stamped onto the sentiment shape. I decided to edge the shapes with the same paper. They were then added to the base card. Something I thought would be difficult, in the end was quite easy, thanks to Pinterest.
Think that theme would throw me as well Faith but you really have done it justice, it's a perfect masculine card as well.
