I am so in love with this new set from Verve Visual called Father Figure!! I have always wanted a masculine set and I have finally found it!!
This card will be for my hubby for Father's Day. Inspiration for this card came from this awesome card by Amy Sheffer, aka Pickletree.
This card also uses Beate's weekend sketch challenge #46. I'm startin' to dig these long cards.
So here's a few deets on the card: The base is 6 1/2" by 6 1/2" piece of Close to Cocoa textured cs folded in half. The next layer is Very Vanilla cs and then the next layer is Not Quite Navy that has been stamped with the weave backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms in Not Quite Navy classic ink. All of the sentiments and stars were stamped in either Not Quite Navy or Close to Cocoa classic ink. The stars are from Classic Backgrounds (SU!). They were punched out using the large and small star punch from SU! The brads are the antique brass brads from the Vintage brads (SU!). I added a little piercing with my mat pack and piercing tool. Each layer was sponged with the coordinating classic ink.
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Jackie, I love this! The card size and layout are awesome. I really like the brads along the left and all the piercing. Great way to combine so many of the different stamps without it being overwhelming - genius! And thanks for the mention - you're a sweetie!
