MIX227 Make It Manly. A pocket watch on acetate is the most manly item in my craft chest, so I used three shades of alcohol ink plus gold mixative on Yupo and let it all drip down the paper and do its own thing. I was in a rush because I just got home, and have to get up at 5 to work at an auction, so I did this card in 15 minutes. (DH muttering from bed "you're obsessed" was floating down the hall as I worked.) When the ink dried I found a brad with, of all things, a sand timer on it, and punched a hole through the acetate and the Yupo and inserted. Glued to black and then onto gold. Printed the sentiment from my computer and glued it on after edging with ink. I hope this meets the masculine challenge. TFL

It's perfect, Kandie! I can't believe how quickly you put this together. And can't we all relate to DH thinking we're out of our minds. LOL! I just can't get enough of that BG.

Wow, on finding that brad, to tie in so well with your theme. Kandie this most certainly does meet the challenge in more ways than one. Great alcohol ink background!
