400!! That is indeed a milestone. Taylor asked us to pick a sketch from the 399 that have been presented and select one for our card today.
I needed to make a masculine birthday card and this gave me the shove I needed. : ) I used a TH EF and a piece of SU Co'redinations red paper my daughter had given me to show an antique car. In his teens and early college years, he had a Model A Ford that he called a "Babe Catcher". I did alter the sketch in one respect that I have the tab coming in from the opposite direction.....just liked it better that way for this card.

Oooooo, I love that embossing folder - will have to try and find it . I love how you altered the sketch (slightly), as I too like the tab coming from that direction. Love the gray striped paper as bg - great with the red. Wonderful masculine birthday card - the ricipient (R) is sure to enjoy

Wonderful masculine birthday card! The sketch you selected works so well and I love your color palette! The gray and the orangy-red are perfect colors for a manly feel and I love your embossing too! Excellent card!
So many fabulous masculine cards in today's challenge and your card is no exception.
