A Vintage Masculine Birthday Card

Hello everyone,

Just a quick post of a birthday card I made for my husband:




I used Memory Box clock gear dies to embellish the card. Two tags are free printable file found on line. Everything was covered with Deco Art One Step Crackle and Black Soot DI. I created a pocked by tearing a piece of cardstock...

I am going to enter this card into following challenges:

Scrappy Land Challenge #24 Pockets/Tags

Memory Box #3 Cool Thoughts for Warm Days (Dark Cool Colors)

Deep Ocean Challenge #111 For The Boys

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by...

    Lucky Don! Boy he is going to love this! Somehow you always manage to make something that makes me catch my breath when I first see it (even when it's masculine)! This is such a beautifully designed card, Samra! Big hugs, my friend!
