Scrapy Land Challenge #68

Hello crafty friends,

Scrapy Land's Challenge #68 theme is... Embossing (dry or heat), using SL die brands.  This challenge made me dig out my embossing folders, which i love, but don't use offend.  Since it's almost Father's Day, I got to work on a Father's Day card.


I started with a woodgrain embossing folder, which I die cut w/a stitched rectangle and inked w/some green and brown distress ink.  Next I stamped a tree ring using a stamp from Concord and 9th and inked that with brown distress ink.  On top of the tree ring I added a Die-Version's die cut #1 Dad. Here's an in stock Dad die that would work.  As a finishing touch, I added some die cuts leaves.  The ones i used are not currently available, but here's one that I have my eye on.

Thanks for stopping bye today.  Hope you'll join for this challenge.  You have until 7/1 to submit your projects.  The winners... one selected randomly and one selected by the Design Team will both receive a $10 gift certificate to Scrapy Land.  Until next time... take care.

      Thanks Anne :) I'm going to post a picture of the tree ring stamp along side another similar stamp, so you can pick which one you like better.

    Awesome masculine card! The embossing looks fantastic~I love the inking of the wood grain. Gives it a "real" look. The log is perfect and love how you added the #1 dad to the center of the log. So cool!
    Have a great day!

      Thanks Sherrie :) I'm working on a card that uses the log stamp in a non guy way.

    Mary, you've made an inspiring masculine card with the embossing folder and gorgeous dies! I love that wood grain with the slice of tree trunk on top! Very clever way to present the sentiment "#1 Dad"! I also like the way you wrote your post; thank you for the inspiration both in words and pictures! Hugs!
