Okay Laura, you want distressed and dirty? I have just the card for you...torn edges, funky angles, dark, and dirty. It's my son, Kyle's, 20th birthday card. Hope you like it.
The tree line at the bottom is embossed, and I brayered ink on to glossy paper to get the smoky background for the main image. There was ink everywhere...so I really did get dirty making this one. TFL!

Leisa, you are just the tops when it comes to masculine cards! This is outstanding. I am coveting this set (Wolf)- aren't you a lucky girl to have found it. Great job on the distressing, love the sentiment treatment. Kyle will love it.

This is gobsmackingly beautiful (in a masculine way of course). So earthy and dirty, love the faux leather with the pewter hardware just adds so much to the card. WOW!!!
