A card for my nephew using this week's sketch. He's a sports nut so I used a piece of DSP from my miscellaneous stash with a basketball theme. The paper does most of the work here as I used the center panel for the sentiment only with a few stars thrown in. For the guys I do not like many embellishments.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

This is a perfect masculine card, and you are right, the paper does the work here. The colors are great and I love your matting to bring out the sentiment! All those stars and little bit of caramel really make the card special!

Very cool card, Kathy! I'm with you on the more-is-less for men train, but you did so much with what you did use. Wonderfully done!

Looks like a good card for anyone who likes basketball! I like your color combination: vibrant without being overwhelming.
