My card today will fit a couple of challenges, which is rather a surprise as I did not start with them in mind.
I was making another masculine card, and wondered how I could liven up the look of the card after I started with the brown (Kraft) base, sponged the edges with dark brown and gold embossed the scene (using an Our Daily Bread Designs set Keep My Lamp Burning).

embossed it and then and cut it out and mounted on dimensionals.
These were thicker than I would have liked, so after stamping and embossing the bird section of the stamp, and cutting them out, I mounted them on multiple layers of double sided sellotape.
I then stamped and embossed the verse on the gold card, cut around it free-hand, sponged it with some brown ink, then mounted it over the raffia I had wrapped around the base of the card.
Over all I am pleased with this, and it fits the
Stamping Sisters In Christ challenge #32, based on the verse from Isaiah 40:31 about mounting up on wings of eagles..... and the challenge is to mount things up on the card.
and
Crazy for Challenges challenge #31 - to use a craft base for the card.
Thanks for calling by - I really enjoy knowing you have been, and I treasure you comments.
love the gold embossing!
