Trusty Tools Masculine Card!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration challenge is a collage of tools:

If you know me well, you know I love to create masculine cards and the Trusty Tools Bundle is such a great set. I used the peg board die for one of the background layers and added layers of tools:

The mixture of colors really makes the tools stand out and the addition of the Industrial Trinkets finishes the card off nicely:
