This weeks Viva La Verve Sketch is brought to us by Sarah and it also has an inspiration photo. You can use just the sketch, just the photo or both, so lots of flexibility.This time round I just focused on the sketch. In reality I got going on my card and totally forgot about the inspiration picture - yah....was that kind of day...brain just didn't function at full speed LOL!
Regardless, I am happy with the outcome. Thought of a masculine card right away and the Say Cheese Simple Stories papers were perfect and I couldn't resist using the chicken wire embossing folder again - love that thing! The sentiment is the Birthday To You Plain Jane and I used a teeny bit of the star Scalloped Trim Trio die at the top to balance things off. This will no doubt end up being my son, hubby or brother's birthday card.

A great card for a guy, Marisa. It has all good things...stripes, dots, stars, and that wonderful embossing folder. I don't have it but I think I got a chicken wire stencil. Very cool.
Yep, that chicken wire embossing folder is money! I love it on your card and it totally works on a masculine card!
So classy--great job with the sketch! LOVE those bold colors. And what an awesome embossing folder--the chicken wire pattern is super cool!
Love all the bold patterned papers you've used, Marisa! Great embossed background too!
wow! You followed the sketch to a T. Birthday cards are always a good choice!
You are getting some fun Birthday cards done - I need to do the same. Fun papers, sketch design, and elements. Positive, fun, and happy. Hugz!
