Freshly Made Sketches #686

Good morning, Happy Monday!  I made a quick card last night for this week's Freshly Made Sketches

Happy Thursday!  It is a gloomy day here today, a perfect day to hang out in the craft room.  I created this masculine card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge:
