For Dad!

My dad just celebrated his birthday, and that meant I had to make one of the much dreaded male cards... But I was pleasantly surprised of how easily this one came together! Nothing like a looming deadline to give the creativity a kick, right? ;)
-
I stamped the black Prima Alphas with StazOn Ultramarine and wiped the excess ink off before it dried, giving them a nice blue glow. Some glue and 2 mm foam pads help the two raised letters stick to the card. The only other embellishments are three brown eyelets keeping the three paper circles together. Lots of distressing on this card, the design papers really made that nescessary, and it seems fairly masculine too.

I haven't entered a challenge in ages - I never won anything after my beginner's luck faded anyway. ;) Going for a lucky comeback strike today though, with these three challenges: Charisma Cardz (men's cards), Cupcake Craft Challenge (keep it simple), and if I'm not too late, Papertake Weekly (the sketch, interpreted a bit loosely, as I don't have an image on this card).

ETA: Whohoo! I made the Charisma Cardz Top three! :) :) Thank you so much! :)
