The Kraft Journal 149 - Sketch Challenge - Masculine Birthday Card

Good Monday Morning To You!

For today's sketch challenge at The Kraft Journal, I thought this was a perfect sketch for a Dreaded Man Card (DMC) Which I have lovingly referred to on my blog many times.  Since I need more of these in my stash I used the sketch for inspiration 100%! 

I started with a card base of Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock which I layered a piece of patterned paper that was more on the masculine side. I took a length of Natural Hemp Cord and wrapped it around the center panel three times. I stamped my focal image from Crafty Secrets on Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock and colored in with various Copic Markers. 

Next I die-cut the image out and inked the edges using a blending tool and distress inks and layered it on a coordinated die-cut. Lastly, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment in black ink onto Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock also die-cuting adding distress inks to the edges to complete this DMC birthday card. 

Here is the sketch:
