I made this card for DH's birthday which is today. He is an avid golfer so I used a golf theme and tried to keep it more masculine. I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2009/...y-week-78.html
I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black on GP White and colored it with Copic markers. I highlighted the golf clubs and hardware on the bag with a little gold and silver gel pen to look more like metal. Added ribbons and some jumbo eyelets to finish it.
TFL!

Always looking for a good masculine card and this definitely qualifies as one of them. I never seem to know what to do with the sports stamps for some reason. I like the colors you picked, how you colored the golf bag and the clubs with gel pens! Great job! TFS!

Carla, is this ever terrific! Love the image and your gold/silver accents. Being an avid golfer, I bet DH was pretty surprised with this! Love the papers and eyelets. Great card!
