Lovely sketch from Diane today. Worked great to make a simple masculine birthday card for a friend. I took some neutral and simple patterned DP and did a very faint plaid into it with GB1 marker to pink up the colors in the beer mug image. And I finished off the card with a sun button. Maybe not the most masculine thing but I like it.

I dub you the plaid queen!!! You do plaid sooooo well, I never even guess it's not DP until you mention it and then I am in awe! This is a super fun masculine card!!!

Terrific and fun! Love the candle in the mug of beer. The hand-drawn plaid on a simple DSP is awesome. That's clever! A great way to use up paper stash. Love the sun button which would definitely be masculine out here in the Southwest. Fantastic card. Thank you for a wonderful sample for the sketch.
