Kathy’s card is amazing! Sadly I cannot get her blog to open for me (am on vacation waaaayyyy out of our home state), but will check it out this week after we are at home. Thank you for sharing her talent and creativity!
Thanks, Ladies! Your kind words warm my heart! As to the colors, it is copper embossing powder on early espresso cardstock. You can read the details on how to make this card at my blog:

Amazing as always, Kathy! You approach your stamping with such a fresh eye, providing us with new perspectives on how to use these sets. I am so proud to have you as a member of the Schach Pack Pals!
Striking! Love this card, great job Kathy!!
ohmygosh–I love the wood grain–black on brown is awesome–or is it brown on black? Very unusual and beautiful, Kathy.
Whoa! Love the fresh perspective! It is so interesting to see different styles and approaches. What a cool card. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the colors, the embossing and the rounded corners. Keeper for sure. 🙂
Thanks, Ladies…I’m so glad you like the card. I didn’t make it specifically to be a masculine card, but I agree…it works!
Dear Mary AND KATHY, What a beautiful card. I agree it is a wonderful card any man. I have a hard time making male cards. Your card is perfectly balanced with so much detail. It is a card i will gladly case if you do not mind.
Thank you for sharing this great art work. Happy Stamping. Thank you both and have a wonderful thanksgiving . Ellen Hinds
Hi Mary,
I love the card and the color combo!
Thank you so much, ladies for your very kind comments. It is such an honor to be Mary’s guest designer. I’ve learned so much about card design and style from both Mary and Ann Schach. I’m glad I was able to share a card design that you will be able to use! Hugs!!!
Good morning, Mary: I agree with Missy, masculine cards are so hard to make and I always hold on to any card that I can use for that purpose. This beautiful card is a perfect example, I love the way she heat embossed the Chevron lines in copper EP, it adds just the right amount of bling in a very subtle way. The button with the beautiful twine and the banners are so perfectly placed, the entire card is a treat for the eyes. Thank you both for sharing.
Hi Mary! I think this card would be a great masculine anniversary card! Masculine cards are hard for me so I will hold on to this one for the future! I love it! Thank you both for sharing this beauty with us!
