Masculine birthday card


The layout on this card is based on a "Cards for men" sketch.
I have embossed the grey paper, and the edges on the image and the background are distressed with black ink. The text is a a black and white sticker, and I have used sandpaper to give it a worn look.

I enter this card into the following challenges:
1) Cards for men - Challenge #5 - Sketch
2) Polkadoodle - Cards for Boys or Men
3) Colour Create - Yellow, gray, black & white
4) Paper Pretties - Masculine
5) Anything Goes Challenge - #62 Boyz to Men
6) Creative Craft Challenges - Boys Will Be Boys
7) Shopping Our Stash - #42 Embossing
