We are challenging you this week at Sweet Stampin with a masculine card - something we all like to see inspiration for.
This card was actually made for my hubby who reached the big 60 in April! Where does the time go - we met when he was 20 so we've seen a lot of birthdays between us. He was an engineer by trade and has a very mechanical mind - so much so that sometimes my artistic offerings don't sit well with him as he likes very straight lines and everything to be precise lol!
I was gifted these lovely gears and clock elements from a member of my Facebook Group The Joy of Sets where we often send out freebies to each other. I knew I just had to use them on his card.
For the background I used the large stamp from Stampin Up called Dry Brush - It's a great stamp for creating quick backgrounds. The die cut letters were from Tim Holtz together with some of the extra ephemera. The sentiments are from various sets in my stash.
I'm adding this into the following challenges
Three Room Studio #39 - Tic Tac Toe - I used the middle vertical line
CRAFT challenge - masculine
Seize The Birthday - Wheels
Stinkin Inkers - Youre the Man
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Masculine
