Pile It On Challenge is All About The Guys

If you are like me you don't really make cards for guys unless you have a Birthday for someone coming up. So today we are giving you a reason to make one and then you will have it ready next time you need it. And you might win a prize from Dude Time Doodles and Bonibleaux Designs for a $10 Gift Certificate to their Store. There is also a Challenge going on over at their Dude Time Doodles Blog that is an Anything Goes Challenge and that gives you another chance to win a prize. How great is that.
Now after you stake a gander at the card I made up for the Challenge today run on over to the Pile It On Blog to see what all my Fellow Designers have to Inspire you today and don't forget to check out the great work by the Design Team at Dude Time Doodles. Great stuff over there.
For my card today I used some papers from Basic Grey and the images are  Cowpoke Cal Sentiments, Rodeo Randy and Barbed Wire.

 I got a pad of Tim Holtz Kraft Core Paper for Christmas and I love this stuff. You can see from the green pieces here that when you emboss it and then sand the top the Kraft Core shows through.

 I also tried something New. I have been using a lot of this shiny paper that I pick up at WallMart for Christmas Cards but I wanted to try out adding some Alcohol Inks to see what happens. This is a fun effect and a NEW way to use your Shiny to add even More depth to it.

Because there are so many Something New Challenge out there this week I hope you all will get out those New supplies and or try a new technique and enter a few challenges also.
