I made this masculine retirement card using a Tim Holtz stamp set on some Midnight Muse card stock. I heat embossed the sentiment with silver embossing powder, adding silver and blue brads for accents. I tore the sentiment panel to give it a more rustic look, but I'm not sure I accomplished what I set out to create. The clock faces were stamped with white craft ink in the background to represent the element of time.
I'm entering this into the Cardz 4 Guyz challenge #211 which is to use Trains, Planes and/or automobiles.

Midnight blue and silver together are just perfect for a masculine card and all the elements you put on the card have a clean male feel, well done!! I'm not too much able to make "true" masculine designs :)
The torn sentiment looks great!!
Hugs!
P.S. The new Allsorts challenge theme is "masculine", if you are interested ;)
A super retirement card Carol, I love the travel theme - a fabulous masculine design.

Very cool masculine retirement card Carol! I love the colors you used and I love the look of this one. The clocks are so cool and represent time well. I am loving that truck too!

You used such cool elements to create this awesome retirement card! Love the blue and silver embossing! Love the truck, the clocks and the nice saying! Great card, Carol! Stay warm the next few days! We had some snow earlier but now it changed over to all rain...heavy at that! Talk about a mixed bag!
Very nicely done, retirement card!
Excellent card! It's totally perfect. I could never make masculine cards 😕
OH Carol, this is super!! What a terrific masculine card! I'm always looking for inpsiration on cards for the 'men' and this is fabulous!
What a beautiful sentiment for your card and adding the clock face made it a companion to the sentiment. Love the hubcaps! Hope your winter storm is over and you are safe and cozy.
