Impression Obsession Challenge - Masculine Cards

The Impression Obsession girls challenged each other to make masculine cards this time around - I'd like to share a coffee-themed cards using one of my favorite stamps from this year's summer release, called Coffee Aroma. Leigh Hannan's designs are so fun to color! This is done with watercolor pencils.
Here's a closer look...I guess the rhinestones aren't super masculine, but what could be cooler than brown rhinestones? Seriously: Do you know...as a team we take turns giving out I.O. blog candy...and it's my turn this month! But the drawing for these stamps ended July 8th. Sorry if you missed it!

Be sure to visit the other design team members' blogs to see what they came up with for our theme...their links are to the left........!

    I had to get up and look at my colored rhinestones, nope, no brown. Blue would be nice with your coloring, but then it wouldn't be masculine. Beautiful job Dina.

    Like that glass of lemonade. Will keep an eye out for you to do that image soon.

    I LOVE these stamps, and the card!! Anything to do with coffee is pretty cool, anyway. :-) And the lemonade one makes me think of the beach on a summer day, for some reason.

    I love the creative designs from Impression Obsession. I have a couple of the martini creations -- golftini and cupcaketini, and I would love to add the summer lemonade and coffee set to my stash. You've made them both just pop off the page!

    I love this brown card with rhinestones! Hey, if a man can wear a pink polo shirt, he can get a card with rhinestones!! They add a certain pizazz to the whole card! I love IO stamps and could never have enough!
