Super layout with clean, crisp lines.  Fab colours too.



Super personalised card.  Love the texture and grungy feel.
Great neutral colours.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS

Ultra clean and simple.
We like the addition of the little heart in the centre of the "o".

Now for some inspiration projects from the Design Team.  Do drop by our individual blogs and leave some comments, we all like to read them. Have fun!



The challenge will run until midnight (GMT) Tuesday 19th January (that's 7.00pm EDT).  Let your creative juices go wild - anything will do, but it MUST have a masculine feel!
