Hi there! I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to stay safe and healthy 🙂 This card is out of the ordinary for me in a couple of ways…..no colored image, and masculine! I had to make a quick retirement card for work, the recipient being a “tinkerer”, and very mechanically inclined. I die cut a gear border, and a few single gears, from metallic card, then stamped and embossed the sentiment. I sprinkled a bit of chunky embossing powder for a bit of texture in the blank space. A mirror card mat, and the outside was done. I carried out the theme on the inside, with a sentiment, matting, and die cuts 🙂

Great use of the gears and the splattering of gold adds just the right touch. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble 🙂
Great masculine card, I like the way you used the embossing powder to add the extra texture. Thank you for joining us at Double Trouble!
