I used Kazan's Sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You for a masculine birthday card I need to get in the mail soon. I wanted to go with a basketball theme, since he enjoys the game, but didn't have a single basketball item in my stash. So instead, I went with Hopscotch papers from K&Company, which reminded me of the colors of a basketball.
I wanted to incorporate my new Distress Frame from Hero Arts, so I stretched the sketch into a card that will fit into a standard business size envelope (4" x 8 1/2"). I love the look of the EK Success Wavy Dotted border punch on masculine designs. I also added some ivory string and a sentiment from Sexy Little Number by Clear Art Stamps to finish the birthday design.
Great guy card! the string adds a real guy touch.
