Masculine cards using metallic paper!

Hi there!

I have two masculine birthday cards to share today! They are the same styles but different colors.  I was sorting through paper stacks yesterday and although I managed to get rid of a two foot high pile, I kept this stack of metallic card stock.  I decided to use it on my cards today.

I used  the sailboat die from MFT and some metallic gold, silver, blue and green with some cream card stock as the base. The birthday sentiment is a favorite if mine for masculine cards because it is not scripty and swirly!  I embossed it with gold and silver embossing powders. (The first  card is the silver and the second card is the gold) 

I think they came out great and look quite masculine! What do you think?

I am entering this card in the SSS "transportation" challenge in the SSS Wednesday challenge blog! 

Thanks for stopping by today!
