This will be a birthday card next month for my brother who loves wildlife - and especially birds. The image is from In Wilderness (SU). This fantastic sketch I used is for Sketchsaturday. I keep thinking that maybe I should have used a little distressing or something....but then I like it just as is, so why mess with it! Right!
I hope everyone had a good weekend....we spent ours watching ALOT of football. Well, actually hubby watched football and I was in the craft room - with no mojo! I struggled so bad with a sketch I wanted to try! I finally just gave up and started watching football! How bad is that!
Thanks for stopping by........

Great masculine card! Love the sketch and how you snuck in that scalloped edge! :)
What a wonderful design with this gorgeous eagle!! I know your brother will love it!! Awesome work, Lynn!!
wonderful card and fabulous eagle.
The card for your brother certainly doesn't show a lack of MOJO. Great card.
Terrific guy card! I like it even without the distressing. The watercolor effect of the DP is a perfect addition!
At first I thought the background panel was an actual piece of birch bark. It really has such an interesting pattern and color. I like how you kept the bird simple and didn't color it.
I also struggle with the decision to do any kind of distressing or ageing. When I chalk or sponge ink, I think it looks like I got my project dirty. When I tear or distress edges I think it looks like I had a problem with my cutting blade.
I really want to try all the challenges every week and sometimes I try so hard to use a sketch or color combo (and sometimes trying to combine the two) that I get frustrated and give up all together. But never once have I been desperate enough to watch football :-) ! I'm not a fan at all. One skinny guy running with a ball while a whole bunch of big guys try to knock the snot out of each other. I just don't get it.
Fantastic job!
This is an impressive card! Love the majestic image!
Wow - that is some sketch challenge! I can see why you may have struggled a bit, but you pulled through. What a thoroughly perfect masculine card!!! He will love this!
Yes, I too will join my hubby for football when mojo is off.......and yuk - I hate watching football!

I think your card is fabulous! I love the background behind the circle, how did you do that? Love it. I know the Mojo thing, I am trying to get into sketches but find them hard. We watched football off and on at least our favorite college and NFL teams.
Oh, I agree... your card is fabulous as is!!!
I love it!!!And I love the DP you used.
WOW Lynn I love this layout. Your brother will love it I'm sure

Wonderful masculine card! I love that bg paper, and the twine detail. Great colour scheme, too.
What a gorgeous, masculine card!! :o)
Super card... am sure your brother loved it. And yes, you are right, it did not need any distressing. The green paper in the background and the twine give it a great feel.
