The next challenge for this week, make a masculine card with a calendar with month on it. I went to Print-a-calendar.com and was able to print off the whole years calendars in small enough that it would work for a card. I cut out the month I wanted it and circled his birthday. Got it done just in time to get it out in the mail :)
I went through all my stamps and found one that I thought could go with the calendar and I stamped a birthday message on it. Sorry I don't know the maker of this stamp.
This is my first time using this embossing folder for the background too, I just embossed it and then inked over the raised area. I cut the stamp piece out with scissors and matted the calendar onto some black cardstock. Added a few metal accents and that was it.

Very nice. You were very creative with the calendar plus your background. Lucky recipient.
