Nailed It! Masculine Card by Janet Axtman

Hello Art Impression fans! It's Janet here with a masculine card that could be used for a thank you, birthday or congratulations card. I really love the new Ai Accessory Bags line which includes this awesome tool bag #5503 - Tool Bag & Die Set and all the tools.

This set conveniently includes the dies for all the stamped images. The bag die even cuts open the pockets so you can tuck any assortment of tools that you would like in it. It's so clever! 

The sentiment is from the Hats Off Line #5406 - Mr. Set. I cut the sentiment with the #5064 - Circle Double Stitched Dies and the starburst mat is a shape from #5344 - Envelope GHC Set. 

The background was made by layering a sunburst stenciled image over the top of a brick stenciled image. It really helps to bring the eye to the bag while also giving a lot of texture and color to the background. The finished panel was then cut with the largest die from the #5061 - Square Double-Stitched Dies. 

I mounted it on gold metallic cardstock to create a frame and then I placed it all on a rich brown card base. I added the bag with foam tape to further make it stand out. To finish, I added a few gold enamel dots. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you agree that this makes a super masculine card that any guy (or even a handy lady-wink, wink) would appreciate. 

Wishing you a very crafty weekend!
