Now and then I get the urge to make a man-card. I got this new die & EF last week and just had to use them. I slightly inked the embossed background with DI, and fussy cut the stamped sentiment. I love this BOLD stamp sentiment which adds to the masculine feel. I was going to emboss it but thought the raw look was more fitting. Even though he looks grumpy, I hope he makes someone smile.
Gent die: Tim Holtz
EF: Tim Holtz
Sentiment: unknown
Also: DI's
