A masculine card

Picked up my copy of the DoCrafts Creativity magazine yesterday and tonight was my first chance to have a play with the stamps so I used the main image and stamped it in a dark espresso ink and then also rubbed some of the ink over the image to take off the glare of the white cs.  The rest of the papers are from DCWV Natural stack with foil, I also double embossed the stripey panel using a clock face folder and some clear pigment ink and clear embossing powder so not only is it foiled its also glazed and in the right light the coppery lines really do shine quite orangey and brightly, shame I can't seem to be able to catch that well with the camera.  The border die cut I have had for a while and I finished off with some Spellbinders cogs and a stamped sentiment.




















I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Sunday Sketch & Stash #140 (cutting it really fine!)
Crafts and Me #117 ~ Vintage
Fussy & Fancy Friday #81 ~ Circles
Allsorts #191 ~ Masculine
