Less is More recipe week is to use some metal on your card. Well, how about a 2 x 5.5 inch of metal sheeting?
Started off with alcohol inks in Latte, Ginger and Copper then added some black soot paint, wiped if off a bit and ended up with this. I could've gone a bit further with adding more definition on the bottom but resisted. With my luck today, figured I would've just ruined it.
Backed it onto some black cardstock and then stuck that whole lot onto a kraft card base. Birthday sentiment is from My Favorite Things.
This makes a great masculine card for my stash! Thanks for stopping by!
ETA: Adding this to AAA cards game #40 for the guys.

Hi Laurie, I love this distressed panel, the colours really look so cool on these cogs, Cathy x
It is a great card. The way you've coloured it really make it. Good to have a man's card in stock!
This looks wonderful, so cool!
yours is very pretty I thought about colouring it too but i don;t have any alcohol inks apart from markers, the result it fab!
Fabulous card-what a great effect on your metal panel!

Awesome results with the alcohol inks! Wonderful masculine card!
Very nice - looks like something my husband would bring in from his shop!!! Love this embossing folder.
This is a simply fabulous effect! The colours are so sympathetic for the design of the embossing too!
Super job Laurie.

Love the look you created with the embossing folder and alcohol inks - it is so cool and any guy would love it! Thanks so much for playing along with our masculine challenge this week! Jill
This is just an amazing piece! I've never seen anything done like this. Forgive me for asking, but what is metal sheeting? Is it anything like the metal tape? Thanks for sharing!
Metal sheeting is metal tape that can be found at the hardware store.
I love the way this turned out. Thank you for sharing the details.
Hi. I love your card. Would you do a video tutorial? I would love to see how you distressed the gears. Thank you.
