Hi, everyone! Today I would like to share a birthday card for one of my nephews...his fave toy is a red truck so I chose the 'Special Boy' set from Our Daily Bread designs. For the embossed background, I ran a cardstock panel through my Xyron, adhered a piece of aluminum foil to it, used a diamond-plate embossing folder on it, then cut it out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies set. The image panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Squares Dies. The image was colored with SU markers and the sky was sponged over a template cut with the ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies. Silver brads and black gingham ribbon were used for finishing touches. I will be submitting this to the Falliday Fest Forest Ranger 'recycling' challenge and for the October Fan Club theme since I used my Xyron machine. Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

I know a couple of guys who would love this. You're sentiment reminds me of what Todd Beamer said on 9/11. I guess that's on my mind because we are going to visit the Flight 93 memorial on Sunday on a one day excursion.

Angie, if this isn't the most fun ever... WOW! I have foil that I save, too... I use it..... in the kitchen. Sheesh! Never thought to use those scraps on a card.
And look at your fun image and the awesome embossing. I'm loving your card!

Angela, your work always catches my eye. Your talent shines through each time. Even with a masculine theme, you know exactly how to achieve your look. Thanks for the inspiration. That background is perfection.

This is so spectacular! Maybe it's because I have two boys who love monster trucks, but I just love this card! I really need to get that embossing folder.
