I needed to make a masculine birthday card for my nephew's birthday celebration this weekend, and I have to tell you that masculine cards are always my toughest challenge. The brown and white combo in the teapot for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge seemed to lend themselves well to this sketch challenge masculine card.
I just love this Cute and Curly stamp set that you can buy as a bundle with Stampin Up's curly label punch. The punched label is raised on dimensionals, and I outlined the curly shape with Close to Cocoa to create a faux matted look against the white distressed stripes embossed panel underneath.
Thanks for looking! Your comments are always appreciated!

I really struggle with masculine. This is a great card for a man. I love the chocolate and white. Hmmm white chocolate I guess you could call it. This is perfect for these challenges. TFS and come on in. I have a seat saved for you...
