Male Birthday Cards

I have some male Birthday Cards to share today. I am always asked for Male card idea. It is often a tricky one.

I have used "All in the Family" & "Party this way" both are unisex stamp sets. I find if I choose my colours to begin with (usually from the colour coach or a colour challenge blog) and work from there.
