Here’s a quick masculine card I made for one of my son’s birthday. Besides distressing the edge of the paper, the grommet was sanded for an all around grunge look.
A pocket was added on the inside to slip in a gift card.
Played in several challenges:
Inkspirational Challenge #133 – “Graffiti”
Cardz 4 Guys Challenge #169 – “Inspired by a Film”
(I was inspired by “West Side Story”)
Seize the Birthday – “Anything Goes”
Pixie’s Snippets Playground – “Week 279 and 280”
(Besides using a few snippets of designer paper, a leftover piece from a die cut frame was used.)
Craftyhazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge – “May 2017”
Happy Crafting!

Cool grunge card for a fella! x
I love the idea of buy your own present. I have adult children that I could certainly use this for. The place for the gift card inside is so crisp and I love it being clean and simple. The outside of your grunge card is amazing and I love the colors. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday. Sure hope to see you again.
