My husband recently celebrated his birthday, so I made this card for him. I used a couple of Tim Holtz dies on the pattern papers which are also from Tim Holtz. I inked the corrugated cardstock from DCWV and all the papers with Ingvild Bolme tin can chalk ink. Twine was wrapped around some of the papers to form a bow. I then attached the clock to the bow with a TH pin. The gears are from Bead Landing and the tag from 7 Gypsies. Stickers are TH.
I really struggle making masculine cards. It just doesn't come easy to me. However, I really do enjoy using dies to create interesting borders.
The Oscar's are on television tonight and I hope to stay awake long enough to see who gets Best Picture since I've seen a few of the ones nominated. Plus, I like to see what everyone is wearing! Have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by!
I really can't tell that you struggle making masculine cards, because this one turned out really wonderful! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteYes I struggle with male cards too, I dont like using flowers which are the perfect embellishment for a female card!! This looks lovely, the colors are perfect and all the layers look great! Happy Birthday to your HUbby!
ReplyDeleteI find masculine designs tough, too, but I think you absolutely nailed this one, my friend! The papers are perfect and I love the texture from the corrugated board, and seriously, all those gears and bits of metal are completely fabulous! Loving your twine tie, too!
