Simply Suede - Viva La Verve Weeks 1 and 3

Hi there! I haven't used the colour Soft Suede (Stampin Up) before, and I was determined to give it a go. I had the intention of creating male cards with it, and although the photo on the right is kind of male (except the flower), both turned out very feminine! I can't help it! My husband said the one on the right would've been okay for a male birthday - except that it says "simply" wonderful. He said - who says simply wonderful to a guy! Hadn't even thought about it like that! Oh well! The sketches are for Viva La Verve Weeks 1 and 3.
