My card is going to a senior gentleman who could use a little encouragement. He is an Irishman who loves to play golf. I wanted to use this paper but could not decide on a layout, until I saw the sketch. Thanks Sonja for the inspiration and thank you to all for looking!

This looks FAB! The blue plaid is certainly right on PAR. Love the golf balls and tees as the end points. So glad you enjoyed the sketch.

This card just jumped right out to me on the gallery, and I just HAD to take a closer look, and I'm so glad that I did, this card is WONDERFUL!!!
It looked something like a quilted pattern until I took a closer look. How you have combined your patterned papers is GENIUS!!! It's so bright but very balanced and not at all over the top, which takes great ability which you clearly have lots of!
I noticed that you used one of my all-time favorite SU sentiments sets, Sincere Salutations, it's such a classy, elegant set, and it has reminded me that I need to pull it out and use it a whole lot more often than I do...
I can only imagine that this lovely Irish gentleman will be very uplifted and encouraged by receiving this card--he will feel your caring and encouragement from this card. I don't think that there's a better gift to give!!!
I have Favorited this, and will be listing it in the CAS Favorites later today. This is one FANTASTIC guy card, it's one FANTASTIC card, wow!!! I am always impressed to see very well constructed masculine cards or other CAS cards, I don't do this well, and I appreciate learning from artists like you who DO create such stunning CAS cards, thank you!!!
