Masculine Card Challenge

Our new challenge at Ruby's Rainbow Challenges is to make a masculine birthday card.  This one will be for my dad when his birthday rolls around.  I started with a torn page from an old dictionary and added an inked tag covered with vintage inspired tickets.  The baker's twine actually covers up where I tore the tag, but you really can't tell.  I added a few metal embellishments and I thought the shield was manly.  Stop by and show us your masculine creation at Ruby's.
