Good mid-week crafty friends! For the next 2 weeks at The Male Room, we have a simple sketch challenge for you to follow. Just remember, it has to be manly.
I have a few bachelors on my Christmas list and decided I better get a start on my Christmas cards. I know I'm a little late, but at least it's a start.
Since the sketch was simple, I kept my card simple. One layer card and bare minimal on embellishments.
The design paper I won and it was hard to really figure out how to use this non-traditional paper. The colors are very deep browns, reds, greens, mustard yellows, almost grungy. It turned out to be the best paper for a manly Christmas card. The ribbon was from Really Reasonable Ribbon, it was part of a monthly club. The sentiment and punch are from Stampin' Up. I thought the ornament looked plain, so I added some die-cut snowflakes and frosted rhinestones. Very simple and easy.
thanks for looking and reading :o)

Love it! I really like the paper, the colours are perfect. I do like the simple ornament too!
Great card! I went Christmassy as well - I think the sketch is ideal for a male card as its not too fussy.
This is great use of that paper, it looks perfect, CAS like the sketch.
Used the dp wonderfully! Perfect sketch for it!
I'm lovin' that paper, perfect for a manly card. Great Christmas card, like that you used ribbon without it ending up girly too.
