Can You Handle the Pressure - MASCULINE

Dear Ones~  

There's a new challenge over at Can You Handle the Pressure.   For this challenge blog you MUST use an EMBOSSING FOLDER on your project.  Heat embossing (with embossing powder) is permitted but only IN ADDITION to your embossing folder design.  Each new challenge will have a 'TWIST' which is optional ... your choice to use or not.

The OPTIONAL TWIST for this challenge is:

MASCULINE

  Here's what I came up with:

I don't know about you, but masculine cards are hard for me. I'm a flower/froo froo kind of girl, so this was a bit of a challenge. But Himself's brother has a birthday coming up, and he's an avid fisherman, so here you are. You can't really tell, but the background panel is a collage of several Stamperia papers. I LOVE doing collage pages - my new favorite thing. The vellum panel is embossed with a Stampin' Up Twisted Rope folder, and attached with some twine.

The Ingredients: 

GKD Dark Chocolate & Skeleton Leaves Card Stock

Stamperia Assorted Patterned Papers

SU Twisted Rope Embossing Folder

Honey Bee Vintage Lures Dies

Stash Vellum

Penny Black Antique Frame Die for Vellum

Honey Bee Every Day Mini Messages

Tim Holtz Brads

Stash Baker's Twine

Until next time dear reader, I hope you "can handle the pressure"!

Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE.
