It's Your Day



I made this card for an upcoming birthday of a friend.  I sometimes have a hard time coming up with an idea for a masculine card. 

 Background is paper from  my stash that I used a set of numbers stamped on it along with a stamp stitch around the edge.  I also used dies for the tag, sentiment and gears and clogs.   To make my gears and clogs I cut them out of some packaging. All the edges were distressed and then inked with Distress Ink .  The sentiment is an die cut from a old Sizzix die. To complete my card I added some metal studs, washi tape and a cord ribbon.   

 Hope you have a very creative day.  Thanks for stopping by. 

 I am entering this card in the following challenges:

 Stamplorations - Numbers and stamps
Brown Sugar – Distress
Crafty Catz - 2 or more patterned papers
