I did this in an attempt at the color challenge 303. Since the prompt was for something masculine, I did my best. . . It's hard though! I embossed the sentiment on the bottom and it was a bit tricky since I used two different powders, the image didn't turn out as crisp as I had hoped. OH, and I had a terrible time with the circle scissors that I used. I have to buy some die cuts instead one of these days because the "circle scissors plus" is crap. You have to cut the circle out of the middle of the paper. Who does that? Ok, done with the rant... Enjoy!

Your circle is perfect, but you will not regret investing in some dies. I don't do a card without them anymore. This is a great "Man" card which are my least favorite to do and I like the rick-rack.

GailNM,
Thanks for the compliment. I do think that the die cuts are the way to go. I bet I've only used that circle scissors gadget 15 times and it was about as much as a set of circle die cuts would have been! But, at the time I didn't have my big shot yet, so I regret is the price I pay for holding out on the big shot purchase!
I agree about the manly card thing. They're so hard! I just want to put a bow on this little gator and make it girly!
Thanks again!
