Just a quick post today, I need to post a card for the challenge at the Play Date Cafe. After seeing the colour swatch chosen by Julie I thought I would try something different and make a mans card!!
I tried so hard to get a good photo but the weather is really dull and it doesn't show the true colours that I have used. The background card is dark orange and I have embossed it with the Wood Grain folder, the second layer is plum although it looks alot darker here. I have had this stamp for years and I haven't inked it up in a long while but I need a birthday card for a fishing mad man.
I made a second image of the postage stamp section and coloured with water colours, then added crackle glaze to age it, It is pop dotted to give a little dimension, I also added Glossy accents to the float image and some stickles to the reel and weights.

What a great design. Perfect for the guy who fishes.
The colours go really well with your theme. I find mens' cards difficult to do, but this one is a winner.
