I took the 3 colors for the Challenge, teal, grey, and rust, matted them down on a light piece of card stock and then using the Happy Birthday Cuttle Bug embossing folder, ran it through the machine. Wrapped with brown Baker's Twine, added a button and then adhered that all onto brown card stock cut out with Spellbinder's Lacy Square die. A small piece of plain tan Washi Tape added as a border. The sentiment is from the Flourishes, Dahlias stamp set, popped up on Spellbinders, Classic Circles and Heart Circles dies. Ink is Stazon, Teal Blue and card base is Kraft.
A simple card. A masculine card. Plus, in this case, it's what's on the inside that counts, wink, wink!
Love the colors. Great job, he will love it.
