It's time for a new challenge at The Card Concept: Make it Masculine. My Clean and Layered card was inspired by the theme and the colors, and also by the block layout with the various plaids.
I bought this Stampin' Up set with the bear just for the sentiments - I loved the mix of fonts in each sentiment (none of which I used on this card!) But when I saw the inspiration and remembered the gorgeous, detailed bear in the set, I figured he deserved to be on a card!
I found a neutral plaid and framed the bear image. Then I used strips of cardstock in the various colors to give it some pops of color. The "Happy Father's Day" comes from a long-retired Stampin' Up set - I wanted the long thin sentiment to decorate part of my frame. Then just a few metallic dots. It's all very quick and easy but I like the mix of very detailed bear and the simple frame.
I hope to see you playing along with us at Make It Masculine!

Your framework around that soft plaid looks perfect for this masculine card! I love how you added that sentiment too, but the bear definitely takes center stage! Great card!
