Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Hello Everyone! In Celebration of Father's Day this weekend I thought I would share the card that I made for the Dads' in my life. I really have a tough time making masculine cards. I went out of my comfort zone on this one and used more rustic colors. I also added lots of texture and used a ton of foam tape for depth. The sentiment is computer generated. I also used eyelets & hemp which are not items that I normally reach for. Don't forget to check out the BLOG CANDY that I have going on. Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Recipe:

Paper: Brown Bazzill, Rust Bazzill, PTI Kraft, SU Kraft, DP(unknown)

Tools: Star Nestabilities, Dotted Wave Border Punch (EK Success), Swiss Dots Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Forest Branches Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug)

Embellishments: Brads, Eyelet, SU Chocolate Chip Pen, Hemp, Foam Tape

Happy Stamping!
