Just thinking as I post this card - how appropriate to be making a male card today - our home backs onto the Townsville Street Racing Car Track - used once a year for the Townsville 400 V8 Supercars ....lots of noise and although I'm not a race car enthusiast it's interesting to sit comfortably on our back deck and watch the race on the TV and experience the really race sounds.
Anyway back to my Male card - I've used the Fusion Card challenge sketch , and have added lots of texture for The Male Room #64 challenge - Add Texture... I dry embossed and then used gold and silver embossing powder on the raised dots. Then I had a dabble at the 'tarnished foil' technique - embossing it with a embossing folder and adding gold, silver EP and some copper Inference Powder and some black Archival Ink. I had this lovely Designer Paper with the sentiment on it and used that to select my card colours and to finish layered these to a grey card and attached a silver embossed stamped fob watch.  I am also posting to Happy Little Stamper July Mixed Media challenge - Texture. Thanks for taking a peek
