Let's Hear It for The Boys...........This one's for my DAD...duH! My Dad likes to go antique collecting and on one of his journeys he found me some old button cards, so I just had to use them on his Father's Day card.
I decided to do a Criss Cross card using some new papers I just picked up.
Diamond paper....The Paper Loft/Well Worn-Court Jester
Flourish Stripe...Creative Imaginations/Marah Johnson
Flourish Alphabet set...found at Joanns
Key DP...Tim Holtz
SU CS...Black, Baroque burgandy, basic gray
Gold embossed the Alphabet "DAD"
If you look closely at the insert piece I took vanilla craft and took my "D" stamp , turned it sideways to create a border below the tab punch.
The gold leafs on the bottom of the ribbon are actually findings in the jewelry dept. that already had a hole for the brad.
Hope you like It!
