You're My Anchor - Masculine Card

Hello all and sorry I haven't been updating my blog. I'm about to remedy that with the uploading of THREE cards today. Here's my first post, about a masculine friendship card.

After seeing this video on Splitcoaststampers:



I wanted to try it. :) Here's the page with photos:

I had seen it before, but had never been brave enough to try it. So here's my result:

It took some tweaking of the cardstock and chipboard and Big Shot. Overall, I'm pleased with the results! :)

Thanks for looking and/or commenting!
