Dream - A Man card

Hello everyone and welcome to my  creative space!  Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Another quick post to share this little card with you.  A masculine card this time.  Have been mainly making feminine ones lately but, as I have lots of male friends and family, I really need to get a few masculine ones done.  This is the first for this year with lots more to come!

The papers are by Prima and Kaisercraft and I distressed all the edges. 
The netting chippie is from Scrapmatts and  I simple left it raw.  Added a strip of washi tape on the side for some extra interest.
The quote panel was mounted on a piece of  mat board and edged with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  Before attaching the panel, I wrapped the card with a piece of leather thong.
Added some metal hardware for extra embellishment ..

.. and that's it!!  All done!!  For all it's simplicity, this card did take me a while to complete!  Mainly because I had no idea where I was going with it.  Then I found the quote panel and, after I mounted and attached it, I realised the card was finished! 

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a peek.  I really appreciate your visit.
Have a good day my friends!!
Take care and God Bless.

  11. A deceptively simple looking card, yet so much to unpack when taking a closer look. Love the Scrapmatts chippie, the metal clock and gears and most of all the quote. I'm always inspired when I visit your blog and especially so, when you make stunning bloke's cards, as I have so many of my own to make. Thanks for the inspiration.

  12. OMG, LOVE THIS!! You make the most amazing masculine card Margaret! I love the papers you used, and that matching washi tape is brilliant! All those gears layered up underneath that amazing sentiment panel, and the chicken wire tucked in... oh yeah, fantastic! I haven't made a masculine card in so long, but I've bookmarked marked this one for casing later on! You always inspire me!

    So as I am writing this comment, I look outside and see that it is snowing like crazy! How excited am I!! I haven't been outside for almost 3 weeks, but I'm thinking I'm heading out there this afternoon and grabbing some more snowy photos, before this wintery season comes to an end! Hope you're having a great week my friend, sending hugs :)
