Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

It's that time of the month again...the PTI Blog Hop.  I always have good intentions each month, but.......
I'm really liking the color/sketch inspirations for the hop this month...they got my mojo going...especially this one:

                      
Here's what I came up with:

I think it's a great masculine card which is something I always struggle with.  I'm definitely going to make a few more for my stash, and maybe in a few different color combinations.   I think what really made me like it was the texture I added to the base card with the Book Print Impression Plate.  I ran it through my Big Shot, no tabs, and it gave a very slight, rather than the usual crisp impression.

Thanks for peeking!
