I made this card today for the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS132) and I'm so pleased that when completed, it really took on a nice masculine look! Here is the card that inspired me!!! IC171 - Copper Tiles on Moire by Stamp Muse at Splitcoaststampers She did not mention the size of this card, so I decided to make mine 4"x9.25".
Some changes that I made was using a die for the squares, my stamped images are different and I added a bordered strip underneath the squares! I cut the squares with the Cuttlebug "Vintage" die out of black CS, I then stamped the "leaf" image with VersaMark and covered it with gold or silver embossing powder, heat set, then used VersaMark on the entire square and covered with clear embossing powder and heat set it (I did this step twice)!

Oh my word, you aren't kidding when you say you made a masculine card. It's beautiful and masculine at the same time! Uber wonderful creation here. Sorry that I didn't mention dimensions, but you nailed it. Mine was intended for a #10 envelope as yours appears to be.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I adore the leaves in your squares or the fabu dp base. Such a wonderful card.
Thank you so much for playing today and bringing this charming creation to the gallery!
