My card this week is masculine.  Thank you Jodi for your inspiration!!  The challenge is to use a frame. This card is 5"x7". The base is cardstock and a Penny Black DP from my stash.  My frame of choice is the  Janpanese Lace and Flourish Frame which is die cut from Stardreams paper.  The Serendipity stamp was stamped with Versa Fine Sepia on Kraft cardstock.  Mega Fanciful Flourish is glitzed with Copper Stickles.  Love the new corners from Cheery Lynn and I used Lace Corner Deco F.  I opted for a few die cut buttons using Buttons 3 and some twine from the Twinery.
