I used Sponge Daubers to color this stamp in with distress inks, so the coloring went very quickly. I embossed the image first with Black embossing powder.
The strip of burlap was a left over seam piece that I had used on another project and I saw it laying on my desk and thought it would be a nice rustic touch to the card. The paper is a piece that my friend gave me when she got rid of some papers she didn't want anymore, so I don't know who the maker of that paper is.
Artistic Outpost -- The Outpost stamp set, embossed with Black embossing powder, colored w/ distress inks

Mark Richards -- nail heads

Another one of your perfect masculine cards! Every detail meshes perfectly. It seems like you have a lot of nephews, so it's a good thing you're so accomplished with the masculine cards. I have two nephews and a niece who are just a bit older than me. We were more like cousins when we were growing up.
Wow, Connie, I love this masculine card, and I love the layout and general composition. Yes, you do have a lot of male cousins, so like Leslie said, it's a good think you are amazing at making masculine cards! This one is a real favorite for me, and I'm sure your cousin will love it. It's fun to know he was the first kid you babysat for! Hugs and love!
Oh girl this is gorgeous! And a great 'guy' card too~
