If you managed to get a look at the eclipse this morning in your part of the world I am envious - we had lots of very thick cloud here so all that happened was it went a little darker!
Quite cool too which is such a contrast to yesterday when I had an hour out minus a jumper and in a 't' shirt!
A man card to share done in super quick time.
Blue cardstock randomly stamped with a really old diamond background stamp inked in Versafine Majestic Blue.
Image is from a 'man' set of Vintage transport by Flonzcraft, same ink and layered onto the offcut of the background card.
The banner is a piece of ribbon - I wanted to use it as it was the only piece of bright coloured dark blue ribbon that I had in my stash - but it was too thin so I simply stuck some double sided tape down one edge and joined two pieces together to make a wide piece!

Bit of a damp squib here too!! Love your idea of joining the ribbon together with the DS tape to make it wider. hugs Mrs A.

Fabulous masculine card Viv. I got a few sneaky peeks whilst I was driving on the motorway to look after Rowan. It was very cloudy but there was a small break I. The clouds just around the eclipse, very weird. Susan x
FAB looking card with the diamond background.
Still mojo-less today dammit!
Hugs, Sarn xxx
The banner is a great touch on this masculine card, it looks great!!
Weather is constantly switching between winter and spring temperatures, rain and sun, here in Oslo. Today we had sun, but cold.
Beautiful masculine card, Viv! Love it! :-D
