Peggy gave us some wonderful colors which would work well for a masculine card:
Midnight Muse
Baked Brown Sugar
Cherry Cobbler
Neutrals of choice
Dessert: Coloring
This will be a birthday card for an avid, world-wide birder friend of mine. I like the birds on cards that I send to him and his wife to be as accurately colored as I can. I got out my “Guide to North American Birds” for this one. : ) I also depicted a pair of geese since they mate for life. The dessert of “coloring” worked perfectly for this card. The background was done with a brayer and some Copic “scribbles”.

I would love to just sit on a stool and watch you create, Sallie!
The bg is beautiful and those geese lovely. It is sure to have a special place in the recipients' home. Lovely as always

A perfect card for a birder! Love the sponging and simple coloring of the geese!
