Thought that this card would be great for a man. I used a cream 4 x 4 inch scalloped card base to start. All papers used came from a 6 x 6 pad by Kaisercraft (Sears & Son)
I first stamped the base card with a compass stamp in brown dye ink. Papers were then selected, cut and trimmed out to make a collage of layers as shown. All stuck in place with acrylic glue.
Final touches were to add the sentiment which was preprinted on cream card and to stick a metal key in place with hot glue.

That is great Sid, I was going to say if it only had a bit of twine you could have entered the Quirky challenge, not sure if you are into challenges!

Fantabulous card design and perfect manly vibe. That compass stamp is on my wish list for sure! And the clock papers are awesome sauce! Just became your newest follower! ~Niki
ReplyDeleteA smashing card Sid, and one which is perfect for a man - the category I often have difficulty with.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and congrats on the anniversary.

What a fantastic card. I love those papers.
ReplyDeleteGreat card - men's cards always seem so tricky.
