Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #392

Hello friends~  It's Sunday so that means it's time for a tasty new challenge going on over at Cupcake Inspirations.  
This week is a THEME challenge and the theme is "PLAID".  You can use any colors you wish on your card as long as it has PLAID on it.  

Our sponsor this week is


They are generously giving a $15 gift certificate to the winner of this week's challenge.  You really must check out their adorable stamp images!!

Even though we could use any colors we wanted, as long as there was plaid on the card, I was inspired by the whole package this week.  Plaid, colors and deer antlers made for a perfect masculine birthday card!
I have my dear friend Marcia to thank for that elegant looking deer cut out of kraft card stock.  She sent me several of them in a die cut swap we did a while back.  Thanks Marcia!!

Be sure to check out all the designers cards to see how they were inspired by this week's inspiration photo.  I know they'll wow your socks off!

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings~ Birgit

Like how you hung the greenery from the ribbon, which by the way, you have the nicest selection of. Very pretty card with the plaids.

Great masculine card! This would also double as a Christmas card with a few extra embellies. I like the plaid ribbon, nice touch to tie it all together...literally!

Love this easy masculine card. Sometimes masculine cards come easy to me and other times I struggle. I'll be keeping this one in mind in the future.
