I have four challenge spots to thank for my inspiration for this card.
Eat, Sleep, Stamp sketch challenge 148
AnnaBelle Stamps Say It With A Male Card
Speedy the Cat's Friends to make things with wings
Fab N Funky Challenges to make a card that's "hard for you to make".
I used Stampin' Up cardstock, Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel and papers from a Scrapbook Kit titled Great Outdoors. I used the Cuttlebug CheckerBoard embossing folder on the small circle to imitate the pattern on the square paper.
I don't make a lot of "manly" cards because "girly" just comes much easier. However, this one seemed to come together with no trouble at all, thanks to a great sketch and a beautiful dragonfly image that I printed, cut out and popped up. The sentiment from AnnaBelle Stamps "All Things Grow" is also popped up to add some dimension.
Hope you all have a pleasant weekend!
Betty

Hi Betty, Love the layout on this card and your monochrome colour scheme. Thanks for joining us at AnnaBelle Stamps for our 'Male" challenge!
This is a fabulous sketch! Dragonflies are perfect for manly cards. Thanks for the reminder.
Fabulous card Betty!!! I love all of the wonderful texture and gorgeous details. Thank you for playing along with us this week at Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge.

I super male card, always more difficult that girlie ones, but I love the one you have made
This is a fantastic card Betty!! Love the layout and sketch, and the colours...beautiful!
I don't make a lot of manly cards either, but for a totally different reason, they would never appreciate the time and effort, ha! That's why I go to Walmart, teehee. Wonderful masculine card my friend! Very clever creating the circle with the checkerboard pattern!
Well done Betty. A great male card indeed! Thanks for sharing it with us at ABS.
