I usually send out a couple of Christmas cards to just males. I found this sketch over at Taylored Expressions Sketch #131 and thought Dasher (SU) would, well...just look "dashing" on it! I used some more manly looking colors I think - like the Always Artichoke and Real Red. The patterned paper is from Paper Pizazz. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE plaid - so really like using this. Kind of gives it a "manly feel". I embossed Dasher with some of the Egyptian Gold embossing powder. Again, I used the Square Lattice embossing folder and also used a SU punch. The snowflakes were made using a MS punch and then I added gold brads in the center.
This is for the challege at Taylored Expressions.
Thanks for stopping by...............

Beautiful and it so works as a "guy" card, love the plaid! You did such a great job on this, will have to remember when I have to make a card, I really struggle with making it "guy" like.
Love Dasher and never ever thought of using him for a guy card! Awesome!
This card is perfect for a man. Great idea!
Hi Lynn! You sure have the masculine cards down!! Whenever I need one - I'm going to come check out your cards since you do it soooo well!!
I "think" I finally bought gold embossing powder - but I placed the order b.f. I left for vacation - so I've got to go check - hopefully so!

This is so.. well, should I say "pretty" for a man's card? But it is!! I have a stamp that isn't a SU but very similar. Now I want to go ink mine up!!

This is stunning Lynn, I love how you put this card together. What perfect colors and layout for a masculine card. Love it!

This is just beautiful, Lynn! The plaid DSP makes the card so masculine but so classic at the same time. I just love that Dasher stamp! :)
I like the texture of the embossing on your main image. The color combo, textures and plad do have a masculine feel but I think it would be appropriate for anyone.
How beautiful! What a fabulous holiday card!
Perfect Masculine card (plus the girls would love this too!). I love the DSP and that is one great image!
This is perfect for a guy Christmas card, and you are right those colors go great together!

hugs & blessings
