The sketch I used is from Victorine Originals and I'll enter this in their challenge. The DP is from K and Company and the image is framed with Label 1 nestie. I used SU markers on the image and also used my Stardust glitter pen to highlight the branches and pine cones (although you can't see that in the photo). Since this will be for a male, I used the twine instead of ribbon and then topped it with a brad.
I'll also enter this in the challenges at Party Time Tuesday (use a feathered friend), Crafty Cardmakers (no floral embellishments), Stampin Sisters in Christ (thinking of you), and Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle (winter something).
Thanks for stopping by...........

Your cousin will love this and so appreciate your thoughtfulness. This is so perfect with the paper behind and the twine and button with this so perfect image. Great guy card. Need to get the coat out for Lucky this AM wind chill in the teens, ugh!!! I don't want to walk today. :(
I totally agree Lynn - everybody loves to receive mail telling them they're being thought about. This is a lovely card for a man - or anyone actually!
Hope your cousin gets better soon. I'm sure this will lift his spirits!! Love the plaid paper with this image! So masculine :)

Such a great card and I love the reason for sending it! I think I need to make one now for my husband's uncle!
I love the little nuthatch nestled in the pines and your DP is perfect for this (are my eyes playing tricks or is that hunter green?!) A wonderful masculine card!!

Wow... this is so pretty! That checked paper is just perfect for pulling your eye into the bird.
This is wonderful. Very calming feel to it. I tried to post mid week but can't get blogger to behave on my laptop. Luckily my iPad is bluffer posting friendly.
Good idea using the twine.
Great card for a male Lynn,I'm sure your cousin will be thrilled to bits!
