This weeks theme at Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog is DISTRESSING!!!! The Design Team is showcasing Tim Holtz as well, because, well, he is the KING of DISTRESSING!!!! Truly a VERY talented man!!!
For this card I have used the Tim Holtz mini mask (Compass) on Creamy Caramel paper (SU). I have spritzed it with Sapphire blue Glimmer Mist. I distressed the edges of the papers with Walnut Distress ink. The "wheels" or "cogs" were in my chipboard stash so I sprayed them with Sapphire blue Glimmer mist as well to match! The twine just pulls it all together, I think & doesn't make it "girly"! LOL I got the mini mask and the glimmer mist at Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Go check it out..they have ALL THINGS TIM!!!! LOL
Inside it just says "Happy Birthday"...so a very masculine card for a guy birthday!
I really hope you will join us this week for our challenge!!! I KNOW how you ALL love to DISTRESS things!!!!! Can't wait to see what you create!!!!! AND don't forget, you can win a $25 shopping spree from Simon Says Stamp Superstore!!!! So, what are you waiting for?? Get DISTRESSING!!!!
(and have fun!)

What a great man card! I would be perfect for a man who owns a boat, it has a kind of maritime theme.
