MASCULINE BIRTHDAY CARD...

Back in December, I started on this old Mojo Monday sketch, determined to do a masculine card. With the craziness of the holidays and getting out Christmas cards, I never got to finish it.  It got tossed in my to-do drawer and I never saw it again until today.  Of course, when I discovered it, I had to start working on it immediately. 

I always have more difficulty with masuline cards.  I gravitate towards the feminine and floral realm, so I took it as a personal challenge to finish this today.  Since the sketch is long past, I went ahead and took a little more liberty with it than I normally do.  I actually made a couple of versions.  This one was Jenni's favorite.  I'm still not sure and am still redoing!  :o)
