Happy July crafty friends! We are starting out the month with a new Color Hues challenge brought to you by Marcia. I took advantage of the opportunity and incorporated her colors into a Father's Day card for hubby.
For my card...
I used an embossing folder to create the texture on the focal panel. The die cut "Dad" was stacked four high for dimension and adhered over top of an embossed strip that was first stamped and then heat embossed in gold. I added the gold pearls for accents and hope they didn't take away from the masculine vibe.
Supplies:
Lil Inkers - Dad die
Avery Elle - Mom & Dad stamp set
Spellbinders - gold foil pearls
Altenew - Checkered Squares embossing folder
Our designers have created some fabulous inspiration pieces so I hope you'll visit the blog and join in on the fun.
As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!

ReplyDeleteA great design, Julie! I love the amazing embossed texture both in the background and the thin sentiment strip. Very clever and I hope you husband loved it too!
ReplyDeleteI love that embossing folder you used for the background Jules...it really made your bold "DAD" die cut stand out and I bet hubby loved the card!! Love the little touches of gold too! Thanks for making my color choices look SO good! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThe masculine vibe is perfect! Your rich colors are wonderful and that deep texture in the EF puts this over the top! I love the bold sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteI love this bold design Jules and the embossed background is fantastic. I know this Father's Day was a tough one for both of us this year but like you I found comfort in making a card for my hubby. xo
