I know you are going to want to do the challenge we have this week @ Perfect Sentiments Challenge. Father's Day is this weekend and you are going to need a card.
It's easy: Create a card with a Father's Day Sentiment on the FRONT
and use the provided color story as inspiration for the design of your card
Here's my card:
My favorite technique is distressing. I scrubbed the edges of the background paper with my scissors & even made a little cut in the upper right corner. I sponged distress ink around the edges of piece I added. I made a "postcard" for the next layer using my Paris stamp set, then added a "stamp" I cut out from the Sunday paper a while back. Made my tag with my sentiment.
I found this poem on the internet & printed it for the inside of my card.
Here's a close up of the silver metal tag I stamped on, tied it to the twine & then added my Father's Day sentiment.
You know we have a very talented Design Team. They are each listed on the left sidebar. We have 2 guest designer's that I hope you'll visit and welcome.
If you participate in our challenge and link your card up @ Perfect Sentiments challenge you might win a FREE IMAGE from our sponsor or be chosen as the top 3 favorites for the week.
