Cards for Men - Challenge Nine - "Monochrome/Anniversary"

Wow here we are at Challenge Nine, and for the last challenge we had over 50 entries, well done girls hope you enjoyed taking part, this one is a little more easier or at least I think so, you need to create a card that incorporates " Monochrome" but to help you Donna also decided to add the Wedding Anniversary aspect as well, so good luck hope it doesnt cause you to much difficulty if it does you will have to blame her.
Donna is also sponsering this challenge and she has offered to give a £10. voucher as a fabulous prize, also if you read what she says herself you will discover that she is also offering a 10% discount during the time of the Challenge,

and here is the link to her webshop.
Here is what Donna says about herself and her fabulous shop :-

We are a small home-run business and pride ourselves on customer service. We have a fixed P&P of £1.00 regardless of the size of order.

It's quite hard to do when it gets to my turn as I never know what to say. A reminder of the challenge, the theme is 'Monochrome' and the challenge will run from 26th April to 9th May. The prize will be a £10 gift voucher to use at Donna's Den of Crafts and there will also be a 10% discount voucher valid for the term of the challenge. The code for this will be CFM0410.

Im sure you will be delighted and thrilled at what you can obtain from her webshop.

Here is my card for the Challenge, Ive actually created it for a very dear pair of friends of mine, they are quite young and funky so I felt although its supposed to be basically masculine this also does well as a couple card as well.

Ive used my Just-Rite stamps for this card, the  main image is a beautiful Poppy image which I have coloured with my Faber Castell Prisma pencils and the sentiment is another of the same make of stamps, both were cut out with the circle Nestabilitie die punch and the mount which I have used a lovely beige card was cut with the scalloped die.

The base card is a 6.50"x 5.50" size card with a first layer of the same beige card, and one of three papers that I received in my Making Cards magazine this month, I really felt the colurs went down well for this card. I know Ive not totally kept to the same colour tone on the colouring but your hardly likely to find a beige/brown poppy so I hope I get forgiven by my leader for taking liberties.

Anyway I hope you take part in this fortnights challenge and enjoy it to.
