Masculine Craftin’ Round the World

Hello everyone – I have a guy card to share with you today with the Masculine Craftin’ Round the World idea.
Each month Crafting’ Round the World comes up with a new challenge. The best part about this challenge group is there are 3 different challenges you can choose from. You can easily find one that you can participate in.
Today’s Project
For my share today I chose the extra theme challenge. This was a Tic Tac Toe challenge.

I went for a diagonal tic tac toe. I chose to use pattern paper and layers to make a masculine card. The Fresh Start pattern paper has a calm green colorway. I paired it with a dark green that matched the striped paper. I used a crosshatch embossing folder to add some texture to the white panel.

The ephemera pack reminds me of a gentleman’s library with the images of glasses, books, and the cute puppy. I chose them to cluster in the lower left hand corner. Some gold gems finish off the card.
