The super talented Ann Schach has a great challenge for us this week at the Paper Players.
I don’t know about you, but masculine cards never come easily for me. I always struggle with making them. I’m not sure I would exactly call this card masculine, but I wouldn’t call it feminine either. I think it could easily pass for a guy’s card. There is no ribbon, rhinestones, nor buttons. The guys in my house think that those items disqualify a card from the masculine category automatically.
I decided to go with a grungy look — well, this is about as grungy as I get. I distressed the edges of the dsp and crumpled it up (which still seems wrong to me, but I just took a deep breath and did it).
Go take a look at what the rest of the team did with the challenge at the Paper Players, and then join us.
Enjoy your Sunday! Thanks for stopping by!

Love this card. Hope you don’t mind if I case it.
OK, Amy you are officially an enabler! I wasn’t going to purchase any of this Epic Day bundle but now that I see you create amazing card after amazing card with it, I need to have it all! Thanks! (jk) Inky hugs 🙂 Sandy
This is perfectly awesome and I may just have to CASE it! Terrific way to use those already-grungy masculine papers, and the rustic look of that label (which I love, BTW) matches perfectly. And the clip just draws your eye to the sentiment perfectly!
Another great card, Amy! Your crumpled paper is fabulous–perfect for a guy card and I love how the silver clip draws the eye to the sentiment. Sneaky way to get some bling on with the silver clip, tee hee!
I love you card! I still can’t bring myself to crumple paper, but yours looks so good I may have to try it! 🙂
Wow…cool grunge look! I’m with Justin (that I can’t crumple paper myself)… although, now that I see yours…. it’s something to consider. Thanks for inspiring!
