Masculine Congratulations Card

One of our friends was just appointed head football coach so I wanted to make him a celebratory card.  I used the Simon Says Stamp Lumen 3D embossing folder inked with Sangria Ink on Nectarine paper.  The sentiment was a Crafters Companion set called Simple Sentiments cut from Sangria paper and embossed with Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder.  The bottom paper is Shortbread.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

     Craft Rocket Challenges #91--Boys/Men

     Fab 'n' Funky #548--Masculine

     The Male Room #161--Dry Embossing

     Allsorts Challenge Week #671--Masculine

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
