Well I had the make it manly part down, but had only used ink, which I smeared on the e.f. and then I realized I could smear a little grit paste on the bottom of the handmade paper to qualify for two mediums. Done! (I got these papers in a cheap bundle at a garage sale, so this was a good challenge to use them. Had to hand tear the bigger circle as my punch would not punch through the thick hand made stuff.

Marvelous find and card! Love the way you combined the different elements. I think the torn circle fits with the card much better than if it were cleanly punched.

Handsomely suave and debonair!! Full of wonderful texture and design!
You should add this to the F$A380 challenge, with the watch/timepieces, it fits into the tool category. A watch/timepiece is a tool, right!

Man O Man, every element of your card is manly awesomeness! The texture of the handmade paper, the ef pattern, the rugged corrugated panel, typewriter text, pocket watch... and the design is just wonderful, Shirl!

Everything about your fabulous card says "dapper" Shirl. I love how you salvaged what could have seemed like a mishap into a mixed media triumph! This card is as cool as cool gets with all these wonderful tags, textures, torn edges and this terrific sentiment. I am super impressed Shirl! I really struggle to make masculine card so this is going right into my favs! ~Karen.
