I made this card for my brother for his birthday. I have serious issues with man cards. ;)
So, i found this art metal. They were embossing it at the craft store. I decided it was a must have. I wanted the same look as they were doing, but without buying all the stuff. Into play, the cuttlebug!!! It worked so well!!! The art metal is pricey, but WOW! It looks really cool. I highly recommend it.
After i made the bg, I was at another loss. What to put on it, to not take away, but to add some coolness. I stamped the horse on mulbery paper. colored with prismas. Mounted it on silver and brown layers. Added the embellys and VIOLA! A man card! Oh, the strip on the bottom is a scrap of art metal. I added the buckle and i thought it added a nice touch.
Thanks for looking!!!!
