Monochromatic Masculine Birthday

 Working on a card for my brother's upcoming birthday and was inspired by a couple of challenges.

The Male Room - Monochrome   


Addicted to Stamps and More - Birthday  



I went with shades of brown.  Started by embossing a heavy piece of white cardstock with the Tim Holtz ef.  Sprinkled with Lindy's Magicals Steampunk Sepia and misted with water.  After it was dry added Memento Espresso Truffle direct to the raised areas for more definition.  Added the same Lindy's Magicals to some watercolor paper and misted then die cut the Tim Holtz Gears.  Randomly added more color with browns, copper and gold inks then sprayed with Krylon Triple Thick Crystal Clear Glaze.  Lined them up to fit together and added the sentiment which was gold embossed on Charcoal Brown Gina K cardstock and onto a Kraft card base.

Thanks for stopping by!
