I combined the sketch and color challenges to come up with this card. Since the colors were browns blues and yellows, I thought it might be a good time to tackle the masculine cards again. I'm trying to get a collection of them because it's so hard to come up with them when you need one. I hope it isn't too feminine. I stayed away from ribbons and used silver accents. I thought this little square was perfect for the mini bows I saw in the wrapping dept. at Michael's. Just had to use it!
Thanks for taking the time to look and if you aren't too busy, let me know what you think. Is it masculine enough?

Took a few minutes to 'cruise the gallery' this afternoon, and there you are! Love the way you take on two challenges at a time! Great card - love the wee bow and those silver dots. I think you've done another great 'guy' card - I should take your example and 'pre-build' a few for when I need them! Have a great weekend...
