How about this adorable image from Make it Crafty, titled Gnomey Peter. Isn't he something, and perfect for a male recipient? Coloured with copics, a bit of pencil and some DI's I do like his admonishing pose. The papers are some oldies from the Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses line, mostly green with just a bit of red and white to complement the image.
I've even played along with the Make it Crafty FB Sketch challenge....sort of. You will note, I have made a few changes, but if you look really hard .....well at least all of the elements are still there, though I did change the shapes. I wanted to stay with the masculine theme, even with the bow.
Other than that, a couple of sparkly snowflakes, a bit of greenery and a few added pearls to finish it off.
Thanks so much for visiting, and here are some fun challenges for my card:
