Time really has flown but I made a man card!
I used an Ivory linen textured base as a change - I have stacks of this card and I really do have to use it instead of reaching for the white all the time.
This clock embossing folder is NBUS!! Had it about 2 years - shame on me. But will pop over to join Darnell's little party with it and sending her get well wishes as she has had some surgery this week. (xx)
I used Peacock Feathers, Wild Honey, Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks. The dark green verdi gris colour was achieved with the overlapping of the DI's - like it!
Doesn't show up very well on the pic but I used some long neglected Metallic rub in an Olive colour across the dark green bits and it has a lovely finish.
I mounted it onto a dark brown base and stamped the sentiment in Rich Cocoa.
Added the clock charm as an afterthought!
Happy girlie though 'cos I don't have a lot of male themed cards in the stash so really do need to try and rectify that as soon as possible - won't be for a little while though as I am away this next week.
Will pop round and see you all as often as I can.

Fabulous man card Viv! I think I have an embossing folder quite similar to this that I also have never used! I did the HP tour last year, absolutely loved it. I heard this morning they're opening a Forbidden Forest section in March so will need a return visit lol! Have a lovely weekend xx
Great card for a male Viv and your little watch charm finishes it off nicely

A gorgeous card!! Beautiful embossing and the little charm is a perfect add! hugs, Marlies
Hi Viv, I really do like this beautiful card. It's a lovely embossing folder and looks great on ivory card. I really like the way you have blended the colours and interested to hear that you used metallic rub ons. I use mine often and they've lasted for years and I have to scrub it off my fingers with a green scouring pad!!! I love the addition of your little charm. Barbxx
I've got this folder myself but have to admit it's not one if my most used items. But so love the colors you've added to it! Might case you in the future, I find it really inspiring:)
awesome card....well done!
What a great card! The embossing and inking is really effective.
