					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Masculine card has been always a challenge for me. This is a card I made today turn out to be more masculine style than I was planning to be <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_4643-0.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="  aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_4643-0.jpg?resize=640%2C640" alt="IMG_4643-0.JPG" width="640" height="640" /></a></strong></p>
<p>I picked kraft cardstock as the base card, wanna have similar ink color for the border and black for sentiment. But I tried gold for the sentimen and turned out monochromatic. Love it <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>I bought <strong><a href="http://www.winniewalter.com/collections/stamps/products/scenery-v-for-chevron">Winnie &amp; Walter &#8211; V for Chevron stamp set</a></strong> last year and had not any time to play with it yet. But today, I had so much fun creating this monochrome card.</p>
<p>First I stamped the chevron with Desert Sand Exclusive Ink Pad multiple time creating the bottom and above borders. And then I heat embossed the sentiment from <strong><a href="http://www.winniewalter.com/collections/stamps/products/the-big-the-bold-and-the-happy">Winnie &amp; Walter &#8211; The Big, The Bold and Happy stamp set</a></strong>. I mixed the Gold embossing powder (<a href="http://www.creatingjoyfully.ctmh.com/" target="_blank"><strong>CTMH</strong></a>) with Clear Glitter embossing powder (Whisper, I got it from AC Moore).</p>
<p>I link up my card at 3 amazing challenges:</p>
<p>Darnell&#8217;s <a href="http://www.djkardkreations.com/2015/01/happy-new-year-2015-nbus-challenge-3.html" target="_blank"><strong>NBUS Challenge</strong></a>. This is one fun challenge, just perfect for me (and you, too) who have TONS of Never-Before-Used-Schtuff lying around screaming to be used <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
