This is my entry for Scetch Challenge 170. This was a really fun and easy one. I used ONLY scraps from yesterday's rejects. (I had rejected quite a few before finally settling on one).
Used Vanilla, inked over with Apricot Appeal, used negative effect cuddlebug inked floral fantasy bg, and used Old Olive, run through cg with tiny mosaic folder. The dragonflies are embossed in gold and touched with AA and Cameo Coral.
Thanks for looking, and I need an opinion: is this too feminine for a man? A man in our SS Class just had surgery and I'd like to send a card today, but not sure if this is too feminine? I purposele kept ribbon, etc off it but it still came out a little soft. Appreciate your opinion!

very neat card, I really like the dragonflies! As far as too pretty...how about using a bit of black or grey chalk or ink...just to mess it up (if you know what I mean!) I love the yellow and green together!

So have you been convinced to send this to the gentleman in your SS class?!! I too am of the mindset that it is fine. Actually, I'd like to play in the warm sunny place it looks like these dragonflies are playing in!!! It's warm and inviting. It would be a great pick me up card.

WOW! Thanks to everyone for helping me with that decision. With a little tweeking thanks to Susan, it is in the mail now. Thanks so much! I tend to question everything too much, but this convinced me it was OK!
