I was really intrigued by last Friday's Mix challenge to use create something by running a natural item (i.e. leaf) through a cuttlebug. I actually tired several leaves and flowers the day the challenge was posted. turned out New Guinea impatiens leaves work well, but the flowers are WAY too juicy.
I turned my leaf into a tag (for this week's CAS challenge), stamped a sentiment on it with Chestnut Roan chalk ink, and added some metal embellies (for Lisa's Ways to use it Challenge).
The resulting card looks pretty masculine to me. It would probably be a good masculine birthday card or Father's Day card.

It's not only masculine, although certainly with those colours and especially the blue stripes it's perfect for that - I really like it myself. Your leaf turned out great!

Fantastic job on your leaf. I did not get the chance to try that challenge but saw some terrific cards and this one is just perfect with the technique. The color choice on this card is fantastic too. Thank you for making a card for the WTUI Make it Metal challenge.
