Welcome
I needed a masculine card in a hurry, and this is the result - using some very old stickers!!
I started with the embossed layer of an almost matt silver card
Die cut the cranberry snippet with a M.B die for a feature layer and sentiment in one,
Added the lighthouse
and stanchion stickers that have languished in my stash for longer than I like to remember!!
Mounted the textured and die cut panels over the white base, the edges of which were sponged with Rhubarb Stalk ink.

Maxine, there is so much to love about this great card - the depth, the shimmer, the lighthouse, just to name a few things. Nice!
A fantastic layout of the card and I love the textured background to the lighthouse! Looks super!
So lovely! Love the embossed metallic paper. Hugs, Autumn
You are so smart to always be thinking about embossing metallic papers. They give the best look especially when you are going for a manly feel. This is great and I'm sure we all have that really ancient stuff in our stash. I know I'm guilty!
Very beautiful card! I love the metallic embossed background!

Loving that gorgeous shimmery white embossed card stock, and the cranberry CS die over it is so pretty! Those stickers were waiting for just the right card : ) Beautifully done!
Oh Maxine, it's been FOREVER since I've caught up on blogs! And this one is so eye catchy! I really love lighthouses and this one is just splendid, with the silver embossed background - it has such a pop! I know what you mean about having things in our stashes for way too long, glad you got some good use of out this one! Hugs!

Fabulous Masculine card Maxine. Love the background embossing
Oh, Maxine.....My heart sank when I saw this card. I LOVE it so much because lighthouses always make me think of my sweet sister, Audra. Can't believe she's been gone two years already. She loved lighthouses SO much, and she dreamed of visiting all the lighthouses in America. She saw many, but her journey was cut short. Now she shares every day with Jesus, the light of the world. Praise God! He's good ALL the time, Thanks for making me think of her, and thanks for sharing in our challenge.
Blessings to you always, my friend.
