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.

Great masculine card! I saw a card similar to this one (but not quite the same) on Pinterest last year and have not yet had a chance to try it. You did a great job on this!
Very unique and brilliant design and execution, Faithie. Hope Spring is showing up in Wales by now, xoxo
So clever Faith. The stripey design almost confuses the eye, such a clever design. CarolG
