Masculine card

Hello sweet people,

Here is a masculine card I made today for the challenge over at Cards for Men!!!
The printed papers are fancy gift wrap and I have used a Tim Holtz embossing folder. Sponged over the car and used my Sakura gold pen on the car to give it some glamour - that cannot be seen in the picture. Touched the car with water colour pencils as well. I have actually threaded thin strands of paper through the shell buttons. The yellow button on the bottom right had a design on it so I did not thread it.
Popped up the car on dimensional foam and my card was ready!
Aleeza said she did not like this card - too dull. And she added that I should make bright cards for ladies and NOT for men. See the little feminist in her coming out... lol.

I will also enter this card in:
http://www.4craftychicks.blogspot.com/ - buttons


Below is a picture of green grapes growing on the garden fence in Aleeza's school. They survived all that heavy rain we had last week.



Thank God it's Friday - yaaay!

Love,

Monica
