Yes, I needed to make one of those difficult masculine cards. But, when I saw Katie's sketch for
Retro Sketches #84 it gave me a great starting point.
Here's what I created.
I have to admit that most of my patterned paper is feminine. Some prints are neutral. But, I have this 6 x 6 pad from Echo Park that is all masculine prints. It's my go-to for those "guy" cards. As it turns out, many of the prints are horizontal...so it was easy to work into this RS sketch. I heat embossed my sentiment onto one of the strips. Then, for the heart in the sketch, I used a wooden veneer star. The cut out in the strip of green card stock was made using a very small star punch.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
