Yesterday I decided to have a play day, experimenting with some of the techniques to be found within Creative Chemistry 102 from Tim Holtz - great fun resulting in a selection of backgrounds and some embellishments which will be incorporated into projects. This one is a sort of layered effect using masks, stamps and inks and I added some embossing and embellishments to turn it into a male card (always useful to have in the box) - I find on the whole I tend to make more female cards than male ones so I might try to concentrate on the male themes. I guess my next task will be to have a bit of a tidy up before I can do much more - such a messy worker!!
Now that is special! Love the masking and the way you've composed this one. Jenny x

I like the echoing images of diamonds & I'd agree this is definitely a super male card. I love the way your yellow ticket interacts with the blue tones of the right panel.
