Happy Father’s Day to all you men out there!
When I saw the new Wetlands stamp set in the catalog I fell in love with it. Immediately it brought back memories of my Cape Cod vacations and all the masculine cards I can make.
This is the card I’m giving my dad for Father’s Day. I stamped it and die cut it with my new Circle Framelits Collection on my Big Shot Magnetic Plate – LOVE them!! (More on that next time!) I wanted to give it some background color so I stamped the Woodgrain Background Stamp with Early Espresso and then sponged with Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo and Early Espresso inks. I wanted small brads and since I only had the silver mini brads I decided to make my own Early Espresso brads. So how did I do that?
Cover brad with VersaMark ink, dip brad into embossing powder and emboss with your favorite Embossing Powder color – that simple! I’m pleased with the way the card turned out – what do you think of it? Leave me a comment.
