Here's my card with some of the things needed. I have a bad headache but needed a distraction. I used real screws and washers to stamp with for my background. I have ribbon, squares were made with the dry wall tape which was inked with brown ink. One of the screw heads had letters on them, but you can't see them in the pic. I know I'm missing some things and may have to remake this card or make another to send but I tried. I used the stripes embossing folder both ways on the background so I'd get a plaid affect. It's hard to see also. I bet I have to come in the back door.....but who says that can't be fun on it's own. Maybe they'll have something for my headache! LOL

Hope your headache is better.
I forgot about this image - it certainly works. And I am not sure why you think you might redo this - it definitely works for me! You created just the right bg

I love your use of the washers and screws to create the unique bg!! This is a fantastic masculine card, with the embossed panels and the filled toolbox bringing it all together!! This looks perfect for a Handyman such as Charles!

Sorry about the headache - hope being creative helped. Aren't you the clever one to have actually stamped with washers and screws. And the dry-wall tape looks fab.
