Needing a masculine thank-you card, I decided on the Direct to Rubber inking method, one of the techniques for the current JustRite Friday Challenge. Using a Marvy marker, I inked my centered sentiment (created with JustRite's Myriad Pro 50 pt. Font) and the thank you border from JustRite's You're So Sweet stamp set and stamped both on white CS cut from a Spellbinders' circle die. For a little "fun" I next cut a Spellbinders' Eyelet Circle in red CS and then cut it again with another circle die to remove the outer eyelet edge for a more "masculine" look!!! Then I cut an Inverted Scalloped Circle in green to back my red/white focal layers. A bit of distress inking, a zig zag embossed edge and brown ric-rac finish off my simple "guy" card.
I love "double-cutting" with my dies, as well as combing my JustRite stamp sets to find more ways to make my dies and stamps work together to create the look I'm going for -- more "bang for the buck", a must in today's economy! Thanks for stopping by today!!!
EDITED to add: This card also fits the "All About Boys" prerequisite for My Sheri Crafts challenge so I'm linking it to her weekly challenge also! ;-)

Marge I love this masculine "Thank you" card. I have the hardest time making masculine cards, but you don't seem to have that problem. Great job.
