It's a man thing - Crazy 4 Challenges #28

It's another Crazy 4 Challenges Day! Today, I'm asking everyone to make a masculine card. I have a hard time making masculine cards so this will get me to at least have ONE in my stash, LOL! And I hope it will encourage lots of you to join in the challenge with us.

This week we're again being sponsored by DRS Designs.

For my card, I pulled out this little MFT Love Machine set that had never seen ink. If it's not a masculine image, I don't know what is, LOL. So, I stamped it on a Cream Perfect Paper Panel and colored it with Copic markers. I'm using Mercy's Tuesday Sketch #64, but had to tweak it a bit to accommodate the longer length of this image. Again, I "stained" the twill tape with Distress Inks and laced it through some large grommets and tied it in a knot. LOVE how that turned out--I'll be doing that again. The rest is pretty simple--I stamped the sentiment on DP and cut it out with a Classic Inverted Scallop Nestabilities die and matted it with another to resemble gears. Lastly, I added a few brads for balance and a few baby braddies to the robot's front. I'm liking it :)

NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-)
