This week’s challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps<\/a> is to make a male card…and oh boy, was it a challenge for me! Me and male cards just don’t seem to mix however I did manage to create something after lots of paper shuffling. I paired it with the sketch challenge over at Lily Pad Cards.<\/a><\/p>\n

I heat embossed a background stamp in white, then rubbed over with 3 different inks (it didn’t pick up in the photo – but there are 3 shades of blue on the panel). I thought it looked like pressed metal (very manly) and the spiral is my own little creations made from black craft wire. It is my attempt at a manly embellishment – a coil, a cog…something along those lines.<\/p>\n

It is a b’day card for my hubby for next week from the kids….and he gave it his seal of approval…so it must be OK!<\/p>\n
