Oh my gosh, this is a perfect challenge card for me. For those of you who know me, you know that masculine cards are definitely not my forte. I love water coloring pretty florals . . . LOL. This card was definitely a stretch for me in (1) designing a masculine card; (2) using such dark shades, I'm normally using whites and neutrals, apart from the vivid Tombow colors, and (3) I don't usually sew on my projects, preferring to use my mat pack.

Oh my gosh - this is incredible! It looks so real! You nailed this!
And I have not had a chance to say how much I enjoyed your CHA class and meeting you!! You were a great workshop leader! I have just recently finished up my card and I hope to post it on my blog soon. I will send you a PM when I do!

Are you sure this isn't real leather?! LOL What an amazing guy card! Will have to try my hand at this one. Visited your blog, but would love to have a Card Making for Dummies tutorial. ;)
