For today's WT: Linda asked us to use our favorite tools. Mine is Mr. Big Shot, hands down! With him around, I can take an ordinary card and make it extraordinary! I also love to sponge the edges & pop things up too. I stamped the truck, sentiment and sponged through dry wall tape at different angles. The sand layer is popped up as well as the dp. The white cs and dp are sponged. I added brads to the dp and embossed the larger sand layer. This is my son's Father's Day card.
This is also for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch this week & Mod Squad Challenge: Make it Masculine. Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

All the angles on this are super - what a great layout. I like the way you have just the two curves on the image panel as a contrast to all the linear geometry going on - and they pick up on the curved wheel arches and wheels perfectly. Great masculine card.

Roberta, this is another amazing card from your hands and favorite tools. You have a way of always having a great amount of details on your cards. They are done in a very attractive and subtle way. This really is a wonderful masculine card. Love how you did the bg with the dry wall tape. Thanks for playing in the challenge.

A very nice Father's Day card, Roberta. I love the angles of your card and the sponging behind the truck. Great colors and embossing. I agree with you, love my Big Shot too!

Such a great masculine card and the screws at the top are such a clever addition.

What a fabulous guy card. I love the cut of your dsp and the angles of your sponged background.
Is that your front porch? If so, in July we'll be spending time there talking and talking and talking!!
