This one is more my style, simple lines and some nice colors and texture. I combined Toy's color challenge with Rainy's sketch and this is what it looks like! I used Sweet Slumber DP to bring in the blue/red/yellow colors and mounted that panel on Mustard. The sentiment is just a part of a sentiment stamp as I just wanted the Happy Birthday in script for the simple tag. I pulled out an old image that is a solid square and inked it in Real Red. For texture I CB's the square background but used the same blue as the base card. Velvet ribbon and black dew drops are the final embellishments.
I was going for masculine so it's not too fussy but I do think it looks finished. What do you think? I appreciate your comments.

Wow--a "busy" sketch and baby blue, and you turned it into a clean & simple masculine card! You're a magician!! I love everything about it, especially the little embossed square.
