I haven't done a Mojo sketch in quite awhile and I finally got to this last sketch. I made a masculine card to send to my brother who is going through difficult personal times right now. I thought this verse might be helpful to him.
It's nice to take a little break from Christmas cards; however, it would also be nice not to have to send this to my brother if you know what I mean. But, we all grow and learn through difficult times, so I try to look at it in that light rather than the negative one.
I used my fav SU dsp paper for masculine cards, To The Nines, paired with Sahara Sand and chocolate chip card stock. I used the distressed stripes ef on the panel beind the verse and on the chocolate chip band that runs horizontally. I didn't want to use a ribbon on masculine card, so I thought using the distressed stripes on card stock would work well. I popped up the embossed panel, the verse panel and cross on dimensionals. Added 3 metal brads and it was done. Still seems like it's missing something, but being masculine, I didn't want to "pretty" it up too much!!! LOL!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a chance, let me know what you think!

Just a perfect masculine. The TO THE NINES paper is perfect for the men in our lives. I'll have to remember that. Sorry your brother is going through difficulties but
a beautiful card from his sister is sure to cheer him. The cross charm is so pretty and I like the idea of the distressed stripes band. Another awesome card, Pamster!
