I instantly thought of making a masculine card with these colors. I stamped the ferris wheel with Chocolate Craft ink and heat embossed with brown embossing powder. After I die cut the image with a rectangle Nestability, I left it in the die so I could lightly sponge Crumb Cake around it. I also lightly sponged Certainly Celery on my houndstooth embossed bg panel.
TFL!
ETA: I am such a goofball. I truly saw this image as a mill, but so many of you have commented about it being a ferris wheel that I realized I am wrong! Even my DH said it's a ferris wheel. Could it be these glasses of mine are failing me or was this a psychological ink blot test? LOL!

Love, love, love the nice masculine feel to this card...I still think it looks like a ferris wheel but now I can see the look of an old mill too. Whoo hooo....a double duty "man card"!

and here I was going round and round in one of the seats of that ferris wheel...no wonder I am dizzy! This will be so cool for a guy card. I especially like the movement the brad/panels give.
