Hello Stampers ~ do you need a masculine birthday card? I have an idea for you today!
Well I did not get in my flower beds yesterday. I had Remi until about 8 and by that time it was too late. I am hoping to get out there today unless the rain gets me. I hope it does not so I can at least get another part of the weeding completed. Cross your fingers for me!
Today I wanted to use some of the Going Places ds paper and give my Bags & Tags ladies another idea. I began with the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches
I loved the simplicity of this sketch and I knew the By the Seashore set would be perfect for this one. I began by choosing my ds paper. I chose the striped paper. Instead of running my stripes vertical, I chose to run them horizontal. After I had my card base completed it was time to add my other elements. I chose to use the seashells from the By the Seashore stamp set. After I stamped them I cut them out. I then needed my banner. I stamped my sentiment and flagged the end. I mounted it on a piece of Early Espresso. I attached it to my card base and then added my seashells. My card was complete! Here is my finished creation.

Thanks for visiting me today. I will be working in my craft room and relaxing today! What plans do you have? Have a Sensational Sunday and take some time to make a masculine birthday card!

Very pretty! The seashells seem perfectly made for this sketch, don't they! What a great man-card! Thanks for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
What a wonderful beachy themed card you've created and in my favourite neutrals too! Thanks for joining us at FMS this week
