I've been wanting to do this sketch and I finally got to it even though it's a week old - outdated in our world, right? LOL! Anyway, I couldn't get the photo to show the colors of the chalking I did, so they look kind of "off" in the photo, but not in real life. Thought I'd go ahead and submit it even though I'm not too happy with the photo results.
I used some old fibers I had and knotted on each end so it doesn't look too feminine. I love using ribbon, but am always hesitant on masculine cards, so I thought this was a good compromise.
If you have a chance to comment, I'd love to hear what you think. I really appreciate your taking the time to look!

Great guy card - I too struggle not to 'pretty up' cards that I'm making for guys. This turned out great! Love the variety of dsp. I've decided not to concern myself if I'm 'on time' with any challenges that I actually I manage to upload - I figure a week is pretty quick to actually get to one of the many sketches or other challenges I print off intending to rush off and use to create a card. I had that MS punch in my hand in M's today... ;) Keep 'em coming!

This is quite a handsome masculine card, Pam!! I love the bg panels and your use of the knotted fiber! I'm terrible with masculine cards; I should just order mine from you. And, you're never late with sketch challenges or any challenge for that matter.
