I purchased this plaid EF a while ago, but life intervened and I hadn't used it yet. Plaid is good for a masculine card, as is kraft. To add some color, I did a little color blocking with a mustardy strip and a drak green strip, then added a striped ribbon. I've had these burlap leaves forever, and they added a contrasting texture that worked well.
