I just love the sentiment from the The Tim Holtz, Absolutely fabulous......the embellies are from my own stash, I got them for an old necklace.....and placed some pearls in it. The same goes for the lace.....it was white at the beginning and I colored it with the bluish Distress inks...


I worked on the inside of the card too. Used the Martha Stewart Punch and masked the punch into the inside of the card. Placed some lace colored it with the Vintage Photo and Wheatered Wood Distress inks and walla, my inside is done....


So here is my complete card for a guy......sometimes I think it is very difficult to make something for a guy, but with the Clearstamp set from The Tim Holtz it is very easy to make one.....so ladies and gents you also wanna have fun making an embossing project???
