Hello! I needed one more Father's Day card, from the kids to their dad, and I whipped this up this morning. I used PLENTY of cheats: I just dig into my $1.00 Scrap Bags from my Stampin' Up! demo, and the card just about makes itself!
I do not know the name of the (retired) patterned papers, but they are from SU. The leaves, from Gently Falling, were already stamped; I just trimmed each one.
The button is from a pair of pants that no longer fit me - hooray! (it was a spare button, tacked to the inside of the waistband) The raffia is from my stash.
Challenges I'm entering:
Enjoy your day....I hope it's a beautiful one!
Dimensions: 4" x 5.25"
Stamps: Purely Sentimental - Verve; Gently Falling leaves - SU
Paper: Very Vanilla, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, ass't patterned papers - SU
Ink: Chocolate Chip - SU
Fibers: raffia ribbon
Other: button; Key Tag punch - SU
