Recycled card for a man

Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a masculine card to show you which has been lying on my art table for the longest time. 

I wanted a sentiment for it and finally decided to handwrite it except that that exercise had to be repeated because the first time around the sentiment was written upside down. I had to handwrite it all over again and stick it over the previous one.

 The gold cogs were cut of Ferraro Rocher chocolate wrappers and the brown background was achieved with a Basic acrylic paint tube. 

The brown paper was embossed and the leftover circles from the diecut cogs were used to fill up the embossed cogs.

I will participate in the following challenges:
