Since I'm often short on 'manly' cards, I decided to case this card of Joanne's.
Instead of the watercolor bg I added a whole series of cogs & wheels for an even MORE industrial look. The black "conveyor belt" strip at the bottom is the negative piece left behind from the die cut letters. (Those I'll set aside to eventually use on another card)

This is a perfect masculine card that's ideal for a lot of occasions, or just because! Yup, great minds. Gearing up was the only thing that came to mind for gears.

I as well have a low supply of man cards in my stash...to me they seem harder to make, even thought they usually like simple...lol...love this one. They are neat die-cut wheels and cogs and such a cool idea to use the negative side of the letters, instead of throwing that paper out...so fun...TFS...:0)
