The LSC today was pretty timely in that I needed to make another masculine birthday card! However, as I am uploading I realize that I didn't follow the rules very well! We were to choose one thing from three lists. And the card needed to be a 'man' card! I did ok with the first two lists, but with the last list I think the ovals and the punched sentiment along with the brads and ribbon, disqualifies me! Oh well, I still need the 'man' card! This textured designer paper is perfect for masculine cards! I sponged it around the edges. I inked up the image with Versamark and then Memento brown before stamping and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I sponged with Creamy Caramel, Sage Shadow, and Always Artichoke inks. I do like how this turned out even though I failed the challenge!
Stamps-Noble Deer, Very Versatile
Paper-Sahara Sand, Always Artichoke, To the Nines dsp
Ink-Memento Brown, Always Artichoke, Sage Shadow, Creamy Caramel

I hearby absolve you... mainly because I screwed up and only ised brads and not a ribbon with it. I guess I shoudn't be so hard on my son when he struggles with multi-step directions. I love this card! The textures are great.
