MM159 - You light up my life!!!

Was busy driving home from Kingston today after packing up Colleen's house to a trailer.   We'll be going back in a couple of weeks to move from the trailer into her new apartment for school next year!

So I finished this card this afternoon for today's "Manly Monday" post!

I tilted the card back in the photo so you can see that gorgeous copper embossing powder!!!

I also used the Faux Leather technique to create the background.

I used:

• new "Pun Intended" host stamp set (ph-141804)
• Lucky Stars embossing folder (135817)
• new Copper embossing powder (141636)
• Going Places DSP stack 

Enjoy your day,
