Living in Scotland I always enjoy making cards with Plaid.
This is todays' card
The Plaid background has been stencilled first
and then the Stag's stencilling on top.
I used a third stencil on top of the stag, with mini dots and clear embossing paste,
and then the Stag's stencilling on top.
I used a third stencil on top of the stag, with mini dots and clear embossing paste,
to add a little dimension to my one layer card.
The colours of The Plaid are the recipients colours of their Tartan.
Finishing off with some white Nuvo Drops, mini splats
and the Birthday stamped sentiment.
I was Inspired by Three Challenges to make this Masculine Plaid card.
I hope you are all keeping well and sending hugs to those who need it.

Hi Mac, I love your very stylish card, the stag image is fabulous and love your plaid background, super composition. Hope all is well with you and you've had no trouble with the storms, Kate x
Wow, your stenciling on this is really stunning! I especially love the faded look of the plaid background and it's a perfect masculine design too! The extra texture with the deer really stands out and looks amazing! Wonderful inspiration friend!
What a wonderful plaid background Mac, and the stag stencilled over the top is a beauty...you can see the pretty sparkly dots brilliantly too, and the coordinating sentiment is a nice large size, and love the way you have placed it up the side of the card. Your friend will be overjoyed with this super card. x
WOW! Mac, there you go again, producing the most wonderful of cards with great techniques. AWESOME card.

Fab man card, Mac. Love the triple stenciling.
Perfect! Stunning masculine card, Mac. Using two stencils seems challenging, but using 3 stencils? This seems interesting, I think I will try it. I love the colours too. Hugs, my friend.
This is fabulous, I love that plaid stencil

I really love the look of this card, Mac! Wonderful background & stag!
I like plaid too! You did a wonderful job with the stenciling of this card. It's been a long time since I tried stenciling. I think you have inspired me!
Oh Mac what a CASimply stunning plaid (tartan eh) card you have here. Such a soft background and love how you have gone the extra mile or two with the stag stencil and those wee sparkly dots. Not to finish here you added more wee dots in white. Love the big birthday sentiment.
PS Sooooooooo glad you shared it over at Just Us Girls.
Amazing, I love all the layers to this OLC especially the texture dots. Wonderful masculine card XX
Pretty fabulous one layer card, Mac! I love the tartan and its color, then the stag just tops it off with true masculine form. Really great card!
An elegant card and nice use of the stencil (which I just might 'need'), many thanks for joining us at Allsorts challenge this week.

Great idea for the card and loving the techniques too. Hope your weekend is a happy one. Hugs, Angela xXx
WOW! From the background plaid to the stag to the stencil techniques you've applied, you've created a masculine card that is absolutely awe-mazing! I'm especially taken with how you achieved dimension with the mini dots and embossing paste. So delighted that you joined us at Just Us Girls.

What a pretty stenciled plaid for this background, Mac! The soft green is perfect for showing off this majestic stag! I love how you added extra texture and dimension to the stag. What an awesome masculine card, my friend!
The plaid background is so beautiful as is the majestic Stag! Hus x
Congrats! I'm not the only one lovin' this card, Mac
Fabulous looking card Mac, love the plaid and stag stencilling and adding clear stencilled dots for texture was genius! Thankyou too for joining in at Watercooler Wednesday, Cathy x
STunning love this stag and your whole design. xx
What an awesome masculine birthday card, Mac! The layers of stenciling is so stylish and the little dots give the card an extra touch. Love the handsome modern-looking stag!
When I read your description of Tartan, I started googling Tartan. I didn't know the difference between Plaid and Tartan, or Tartan has something to do with clan. So interesting! My best memory of tartan is a little tartan piece sewn inside my basketball shoes when Bay City Rollers were popular in Japan in the 70s. :-)

Oooh, I love this birthday card Mac! The design, the textures, the stenciling, the stamps.....it is just amazing! I need me a tartan stencil after seeing this one! That stag stencil is just as amazing too and I love how you stenciled on top of the stag as well. One wouldn't know this was a one layer card without feeling it. I love this masculine birthday card!!! Hugs, Brenda
I admire your ability to make male cards, Mac. All the details are so thought out and matched, just perfect. I love how you combined the geometric silhouette of the deer and that beautiful background. As always, your ideas are surprising and brilliant.
hugs,

I like that neat plaid with such fine lines. This is a bit of a geometric looking card and it all goes together so well!
A strikingly handsome card and photographed in such a way that I could see every bit of detail of your stenciling and texture before I read your post. I'm really taken with this, Mac.
