Another submission for the Dare to get Dirty Challenge event. This one addresses five challenges.
It's always a challenge to make cards for guys. One thing, it seems, is that they all love is transportation: fast cars, airplanes, trains, boats, motorcycles, etc. And they don't like "pretty". So, when I saw this Tim Holtz line of stamps, it seemed like it would work to send to guys for farewells, graduations, retirement, bon voyage and such.
To reinforce the masculine look for this card, I used kraft card stock, "manly" distressed-looking dp, rivet-like brads (I painted some pastel pink sparkly ones with copics), a bit of paper piercing, some elasticized kraft cord, and made a weathered-looking tag.

Great masculine approach! This would be wonderful for a pilot or a model flyer hobbyist. Love the propeller airplane .... so cool. Thanks for playing in my challenge this week. Have fun!
