Masculine Best Day Ever with Memory Box

Hello and welcome!  I'm up on the Memory Box blog today with this masculine birthday card I made for a family member.  I used the "Put in in Gear" 3D embossing folder with a sentiment from the "You Anchor Me."  

Here's another look at my card:

Here's how I made my card:

1)  Dry emboss a piece of Memory Box watercolor paper, then apply Distress Oxide Vintage Photo ink directly to the paper with the ink pad.

2)  I decided to make a mini slimline card so I cut only a portion of the embossed panel with scissors to use on my card front.

3)  I glued the portion of the embossed/inked panel that I wanted onto a piece of Kraft Woodgrain card stock also from Memory Box measuring 3" by 6".

4)  I matted that panel on a brown piece of card stock that was just slightly larger, and then another mat of the Kraft Woodgrain paper that was 3.5" by 6.5".

5)  Then I added that to my card base which was 7" by 6.5", scored at 3.25 on the 6.5" side.

6)  I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair Pinecone ink and heat embossed in clear.

7)  Lastly I added Autumn Jewels and Crystals to the card front.

Here's one last look at my card:

I hope you like my masculine birthday card that I made today.  I usually struggle with masculine cards but this gear 3D embossing folder is just perfect for it!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
