I had missed a couple of challenges, been busy so wanted to try to catch up....:0)...I do love the challenge...so I did manage to actually fit this card into 3 challenges...Our lovely queen for the day...Charlene...lilluvsstampin. what a super galleyr soooo many to look at...wow made it so hard but I saw this simple pattern for inchies...SC113, WT102 Birds of Blue by LilLuvsStampin at Splitcoaststampers.
That made it fit into the second challenge of using inchies...and they are hard to do too many patterns with them so loved this nice one.
Then had to figure out which inchies and dp to use, and when I saw these neat coasters...http://www.greenheartshop.org/fair-t...aster-set.html. Not sure if link is working , but they had a set that is a lot like the designer inchie and one in the same set a lot like the dp...to a degree, so cool...I t made me think of this neat stamp I got from my ma-ma which I hardly ever used yet or at all, so a perfect way to christen it inwith the best wishes inchie which is why there is a button in the strip instead of a sentiment becaseu its in the inchie. the 3rd challenge i hit was the neat inspirational site.
I stmpaed the 2 stamps with my new versa mark which is also new to me...lol..I was expecting it to be more of a color..it is so neat and then used the gold embossing powder and my curling iron and melted it. this embossing is fun, and I was so happy for my first try...yah..and hopefully this will make another good.."man" card.
Thanks for visiting...:0)

Oh Sistah, a MAN card made with a curling iron- I so love that! Beautiful case of the lovely Charlene. Your embossing makes such an elegant statement, and those papers are delish! (No glitter?) Lol, oh yeah, MAN card! LYMI, hugs.....

Wendy, what a beautifully rich masculine card! I was so surprised to read this was your first time embossing. It is fun, isn't it? It was also fun for me to see one of my cards you selected from way back in my gallery. Your card is superb! Thank you for honoring me with your beautiful case!
