Thanks for voting me through to the Top 15 in the Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Competition! With a new round, there is a new challenge. The challenge was to use one product to make both a masculine and feminine card. For this one, the houndstooth seemed perfect to me for the masculine card, and I simply made it pink for a very bold feminine card.
I gave both of the cards a similar feel, including stamping bold sentiments and using banner elements on each:
The sentiments came from this fun Heyday Sentiments set from Hero Arts which is great for any type of card:
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will take a few minutes to vote for me in this round of Gallery Idol! I really appreciate each and every vote! Help me get to the next round by voting for me once more!

Love these, Cheiron! This is a fantastic way of showing the same stamp two ways--they look so different! The sentiment stamps are very cool!

Awesome cards Cheiron!! I'm so glad I didn't go with Houndstooth - it was on my list of possibilities early on. ;o) I love how funky and different each card looks - so fun!!
