SSSC67 - Masculine Birthday Card

It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  Today's card using Karen's sketch was created for my brother since his birthday is this coming Wednesday.  I used the stamp sets Lovely As a Tree and the retired stamp set Wonderful Words.  I colored this tree image two times once with chalk and another time with an aqua brush and in the end decide I liked it best just stamped in Chocolate Chip ink. 

Supplies: Lovely As a Tree, Wonderful Words, Sweet Pea DSP, Ribbon, Linen Thread, Circle punches, Brads, Pop dots.  Colors: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, So Saffron.
To play along create a card using Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, then go to Karen’s blog The Sweetest Thing and link your card so we can all see your creation!

On a personal note, I haven't been blogging much lately because not only have I been getting over a bad cold/cough and have been chauffeuring my kids around to track, drivers training, dance class, preschool and every other place in between but I've started reading again.  Over the last three weeks I've read six books and now I've started reading the Outlander series which is really good.  So please be patient with me I will be sharing more projects very soon.
Thank you for your visit.

    Wow, Lynn... a masculine card... good for you! They're soooo difficult for me! Nice job : )

    I had to laugh when I found out you are reading the Outlander series. I've read them all and am currently reading 'An Echo in the Bone'. For some reason, it's taking me forever! But overall they're really good books (just not my typical genre). Enjoy!
