Dies R Us Masculine

The masculine challenge at Dies R Us came at a great time because I needed a birthday card for a great BIL.  I cut the Memory Box Deer Grove Oval from a piece of white card stock, then I used the negative and scored it on my score board and applied vintage photo and walnut distress inks directly to the paper. Next, I sponged a background using a mask for the moon and  sponging distress inks around it. I adheared that to the wood panel frame.    I cut another Memory Box Deer Grove Oval in Black and adheared that on top. That was glued onto a black card base. A Sue Wilson's Just  a Note die cut and some black enamel dots finished the card.
