#150 Father's Day Card

***This is my 2nd post today please scroll down for my manly z fold birthday card!****

Hi everyone it's a brand new challenge this week at Scrapbookaholic by Abby and this weeks challenge is to follow a sketch with a manly/Father's Day Theme. I decided to make a simple card using my free Gypsy cart Indie Art for the star. I stamped the sentiment with My Creative Time stamps and added some twine.

#117 Father's Day Layout

Today is Friday you know what that means......time for a new challenge at Flaunt It Friday's. This week's challenge we are flaunting our WRAP IT Up cartridge and the cut choice this week is the Castle on Page 24. If you do not own Wrap It Up then you can use any castle from any cart.

I cut the castle with all layers on gray paper, then I placed eached piece in my Cuttlebug and embossed using the Tim Holtz Bricked embossing folder. I then inked it up real good with Black Soot Distress Ink and sprayed "Slate" Glimmer Mist over the castle and added pop dots for each layer. The font is from Storybook and also Tim Holtz die Typeset. This paper is from that Fancy stack from DCWV called Once Upon A Time. My layout is about spending Father's Day 2010 at Medieval Times.

I recently bought this mesh looking mask and sprayed the area with Glimmer mist.

Here you can see the castle layers.

For each photo I sanded it, distressed in my Zutter Distrezz it all, inked up the edges and added copper brads to the corners.

There's my castle! I just have to say that I LOVE Tim Holtz texture fades AKA embossing folders!! I think they emboss much deeper impressions then the Cuttlebug folders.! I stamped the small sentiment on the flag with KinderStampO stamps.
