Scrappy Father's Day!

I have been sooo busy the past couple of weeks, no time for crafts or blogging! Today I had some time to finally make a Father's Day card. I made it with the guidelines for the H2H challenge this week, "Scrappy of a Different Sort", we are supposed to use up scraps. All of these papers were in my scrap box except for the card base. It's raining and dreary out, so the lighting was very poor for the photo, the colors are much richer in real life.

Recipe:

all product CTMH

Cardstock in Colonial White, Cocoa, Garden Green

Inks in Cocoa and Barn Red

Pattern Paper from Passages Level 2 Paper Pack

Stamps D1067 Raccoon and Friends, D1288 June Word Puzzle(retired)

Pewter brads

Hemp twine

3D foam tape to pop up the stamped image

also used a scrap of brown paper bag, crumpled and inked as the background mat.

Thanks for visiting my blog!
