I needed  a  card for a male  friend.  Men cards are  sometimes hard for me because I am more into  girlie things.  I saw the sketch challenge at Our Daily Bread and thought why not make it  work for the challenge too.  It wasn't exactly what I had pictured in  my  mind but I do like how it came out. I will also  be using it at Little Scrap Pieces in their weekly challenge.
