Hello all! I think it's about time we had another one for the guys today, don't you? I started this one by embossing my background on
Aqua card using one of the
That Special Touch masks called Maskmap. I used a light inking of
Broken China through the mask to accentuate it a bit. I stamped the Journey background in Coffee Archival ink and distress ed the edges. I ripped the image down the right hand side and mounted it on top of the embossed background. I stamped the car stamp from the
Explore Vintage Labels Four set by Justrite in
coffee archival and stamped it again without re-inking for a faded look. I stamped over that one with an
Aqua Adirondack ink to give it a slightly different tone. I added some of the wording in Aqua ink as well. I die cut pieces of both images using varying sizes of
circle dies and matted them with slightly larger
chestnut brown circles. I mounted them in the centre of the card . I wrapped some
pastel Bakers Twine around the card and tied it. In the lower corner, I added my sentiment on a small flag tag. I distressed all the edges with my scissors before matting it on
milk card. I added my final
chestnut brown mats and finished with
Choco brown PVA glue dots all the way around the edge of the card. Finished dimensions are 7" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous card for the men, thanks Sue
Hi Sue. This is a great male card. I agree with Patricia who said they looked like close ups of the map. The first thing that sprang to my mind was that they looked like old tax discs in their holders! Either way, fab card. Enjoy Ally Pally. Take care.
