I really needed a masculine card so used this water faucet coat hook for my inspiration. I liked the metallic feel and the bright spot of red.
For my card I started with about 6 layers of heavy duty aluminum folded in to a 4 X 6 rectangle - put in into an industrial looking EF and ran it through the Big Shot. I adhered this to my card base with double sided tape. I Die cut the red banner with SB A-2 Curved Borders and stamped my sentiment on one end. Finished by die cutting several cog / gears. I dragged some copper ink over the large black one then added a bit of copper EP for a more weathered look, and there you have it a quick & easy industrial looking card for my baby brother.

Wonderful masculine card...especially the 2 different techniques you used for the faux metal parts. That splash of red with the textured bg is perfect.

This is a perfect masculine card. Your inspiration is spot on. The embossed foil is genius, love how that looks. I might just have to use that technique. Nicely done!!
