Slimline Masculine Birthday

Our oldest son has a birthday soon...in my shower the other morning, I was trying to think of a masculine card.  Buffalo plaid!  I have several colors that I'm using with Christmas cards. And the simple sentiment is one of those "layered inserts."  Silver and black were just the ticket for the slimline design. 

Freshly Made Sketches 442

This Freshly Made Sketch worked beautifully in the creation of a birthday card for one of our daughters-in-law.  I used stamps and dies from Gina K's Elegant Asters set.  The images were colored with markers and the top layer of the card was dry-embossed. I wish I could find some more of this cardstock; it was just one piece in my stash and it has some tiny flecks in the paper.
