Masculine Congratulations

This card came from the challenge over at retro sketches.  Here is the sketch:

 

And here is what I came up with:

 

 

I chose to turn the design on its side.  I hand cut the chevrons so that it looked quirky.  I distressed the edges of each chevron so that part of the white core shows.  I also took the sponge and Outdoor Denim ink and distressed all the components of the card.  I gotta say that I really love this card!
