Freshly Made Sketch #87

As soon as I saw the latest sketch (#87) at Freshly Made Sketches I knew what I wanted to do with it. A Father's Day card!

 Right off the bat I flipped the sketch so the vertical strip was on the right side.  I used a Sizzix Pop N Cut base die to cut my A2 card out of dark grey metallic, lightly textured card stock.


The vertical strip was trimmed from Kraft card stock, embossed with a folder then rubbed with dark grey metallic paste. I repeated those steps with copper metallic card stock and a Tim Holtz Tattered leaf die.

A 2nd piece of Kraft card stock was cut and stamped with it's coordinating polka dot stamp (Hero Arts) then stamped with Happy Father's Day (Verve).  Once it was assembled, I thought it needed a little something so I added a it of black/white Bakers Twine.


Lots of subtle shimmer on this card - it works great for a masculine card. I printed the words (Hallmark) on paper, matted it with a scrap of the metallic grey and rounded the corners before attaching it inside the card.


Two done ... four to go!

Thanks for stopping by today.
