Today's card is for a guy. No one in particular, it's going in my Etsy shop which has a shortage of cards suitable for men. As usual, I had a rather tough time with it. I hope to do more so that there's a selection from which to choose but also so that I'll get more comfortable doing them. Because guys deserve nice cards too, right?
This one is done in shades of teal and brown and features distressed edges, distress inking, a curled corner and a wonderful background stamp heat embossed in gold onto the teal base layer. (It's by Flourishes but is no longer carried in their shop.)
The sentiment tag has inked edges, gold embossed edges and sponging in the center for a halo effect. Gold eyelets have twine threaded through them and the whole unit is topped with a few tiny gears and then layered over a bit of distressed netting.
The inside, as always, is kept simple with layers of contrasting card stock and inked edges.
Thank you for joining me and I wish you a fantastic, crafty weekend!
Happy crafting!

Of course guys deserve cards, too and this one is a beaut! Or should I say handsome?! Great guy card, Shea!
Man, that Flourishes background looks fab-u-lous gilded against the rich blue!
