The Road Less Traveled... Masculine-CAS


I can always use masculine cards so these challenges are just right for that purpose. The hikers, hunters, fisherman, campers and happy wanderers in my family will enjoy receiving a card like this.
The front of the card base was dry embossed with a diagonal design, which was covered with a panel of patterned paper. (Smart move.) The next panel of wood grain paper was added at an angle. The final layer is a map pattern. It was backed with foam tape for dimension and adhered. Finally the sentiment was added. Along the way, various panel were sponged along the edges. The inside was decorated with a strip of patterned paper along one edge.

This card is being submitted to:

1. The Male Room #66

  1. Your card certainly achieved a masculine feel and would indeed be a great card for hikers and outdoors people. I like the way you'v used a bit of the patterned paper in behind your sentiment as it helps to tie the patterns together. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
