I designed my window card on my Gypsy.  I took a frame from Gypsy Wandering and put two of them on my mat at 4".  I used Hide Contour to hide the center of the frame on the left,

I took the bike rider from the Dude cartridge sized at 3.2 " and welded the shadow in the inside of the frame.

I put the three other layers on my mat at the same size.

I put my papers on the mat using mostly scraps.

Here they are all cut out.

I took a sponge and Vintage Photo ink (I like to call this color DIRT) and dirtied up my card base a bit.

I added a little hemp cord to the card.

I added "no guts, no glory" from Pink by Design Got Game stamps.

Here is the completed card.  When my oldest went to college, I used this cartridge (Dude) to make him some wall art.  You can see that project HERE.

I have a little "Boy-It-Down" blog candy!  These are some of my favorite things to use with masculine projects.  In order to qualify, you need to #1 be or become a follower or subscriber, #2 leave me a comment about a favorite boy in your life, and #3 leave me a way to contact you if you win!

Your next stop in the hop is MARIA.
