Masculine Card

I don't often make 'manly' cards but made this one with some down loadable images from a CD-ROM and some die cuts that I already had.  I added some dimension with layers and used glossy accents to make the hat and watch face shiny.

It was therapeutic to make the card as I have had a four day migraine which is now receding.  Immersing oneself in a project is a good way to forget other problems.
