Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
I
had two hours before being picked up to go out with old colleagues and
decided to fill the time with some card making. I looked to see what the
theme was for The Male Room
and was stumped, then thought of an old embossing folder, that was just
right. I also went onto the web and searched for geometric shapes, -
there's lots that I wouldn't have thought of as being geometric. You
learn something every day.
I
cut a square and embossed it, then added DO's with a spray of water, in
colours that I saw a blend of on the web for autumn, to my glass mat
and placed the card onto it. I hadn't wet it enough, so more water and
another placement on to it. Not the effect I was looking for, but went
with it. I also splattered some gold paint onto it.
Again
on the web, I have seen lots of large white Happy onto coloured card, so went
to my Silhouette and cut it out of white card. I cut three layers, all
glued together, then splattered with the same gold paint, and placed central onto the embossed card, which I had
already attached to the base card. Next I stamped the sentiment in the
same purple ink as the card, and then clear embossed it. I cut it to shape and
placed it under the Happy.
I
was quite pleased with the overall effect after coming home. It's
strange how something can be and mmm card, then a few hours later can be
satisfying. I also have to point out that the coloured square is
straight and square, but for some reason the camera wanted it wonky, maybe because of the embossing.

I've added a closeup of the gold effect with the splatters.
The colours are nearer to the original card too. 
What will your Geometric shape be? Hope to see you at The Male Room Challenge
