For this challenge, I thought I'd try making a masculine card, so I broke out a couple of Timmy stamps and picked these two from the Purely Random stamp set.
I used the DCWV Heirloom stack for both the background paper and the Polaroid photo blank.
I started with a kind of caramel-colored paper and ran it through my Cuddlebug using the Swiss Dot folder and layered a piece of pattern paper on top of it. As you can see I stamped the umbrella man all across the paper with Tea Dye distress ink and layered 2 pieces of brown and cream colored ribbon on top before adding the photo blank which I stamped on with Vintage Sepia VersaFine, embossed the sentiment on, and then used the foam applicator to cover it in Vintage Photo distress ink.
Finally, to add a bit more dimension to the card, I put some antique gold brads into the corners and then stuck it all down to a rich brown card base.
I hope you all enjoy my card! It really can be easy to make masculine cards like these and I hope you'll try this out yourself!

Comment by Ana Gabrielle on August 3, 2012 at 9:05pm Oooh thank you ladies for all your kind words, I've only really been making cards for about a few weeks now, I've always watched Gina's videos (well, least since I got into scrapbooking back in January this year) and looked at everyone's beautiful projects in the galleries and I finally decided to just jump in and get my feet wet with all these challenges! It's been so much fun! And hearing all the positive feedback from all you wonderful ladies makes me want to keep going! Thanks so much for cheering me on! :)
