Masculine cogs card

I had a play recently with bister sprays on embossing folders and came out with a couple of backgrounds suitable for cards. You can see one of them - Celebrate Spring' here.


This one has been dipped in a little frayed burlap distress ink as well to create some additional interest.


I die cut the birthday wishes using two different sets of Tim's thinlits and I had these wooden cogs I had rusted up ages ago.
 

The stamped vintage man was in my box of bits and with some distress ink painting ......

 
..... so it all came together.


Another card for my box and a great one for some of those men I have to buy for.

Thanks for stopping by and thank you also if you leave a comment for me, I so appreciate them and read every one.

    Another fabulous Bister/folder background! And those rusted gears - I just the other day revisited that "rust" post, and will be trying some of the techniques out - they so look like the real deal!! Perfect masculine card, Brenda - would fit into the Frilly and Funkie challenge that opened today! xxx Lynn
