Sketch Saturday #760 ~ Optional Twist: Masculine

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have another Sketch Saturday challenge for you.  This sketch has the optional twist of making it a masculine card.
Here's my card using an adorable image from LaLa Land Crafts colored using Copic markers.

I also used Whimsy dies to create the chevrons and Altenew's Organic Linen embossing folder for background interest.

Here's the sketch for your inspiration.

I hope you'll play along.  Just add your project to the link above.

Hi Crafty Friends,
It' time for another Cut it Up Challenge.
Our challenge rules are simple: use at least one die cut and follow the theme - easy peasy.
Our challenge sponsor, offering a $20 store credi, is PINK AND MAIN.
  I sure have missed going to the movies and this card brings back those memories.

I used my three favorite stamp and die companies for this project.

The window card mat die is from Whimsy Stamps, the image is Marci, a Lala Land Crafts digi image, the sentiment, flag die, coffee cup, and film dies are from Jaded Blossom.  The popcorn was a free image I downloaded from Google.
I hope you'll play along with this challenge.  Just follow the Cut it Up link above.
