Father’s Day Blessing Card-FREE DIGI

Good morning crafty friends,
I am sharing the details on the card I created for yesterday’s Digi Desserts Fridaze post.
fathers day-blessingcard2-500
Here is a view of the completed card. There isn’t a whole lot to this card, but it looks like so much more because of the many layers.
I also used this weeks DDF FREE WORD ART DIGI. So be sure to head over to that post and pick it up while you can.

Here is a close up of the cogs-gears. I cut them from plain black cardstock. I used the silver Cat’s Eye Chalk Ink to add some shading. I used a couple of VERY OLD brads I had in my stash. I used a little foam tape on two of the gears for just a little lift.

  30. I Love this card you did an amazing job of it. Cogs and gears and the best thing for male cards. Even better for me as I have 3 sons, & 3 grandsons, Not to mention 5 Nephews, and 4 brother in laws and 2 brothers.

  33. Great card, cards for men are always hard. Did you get the brads that looked like screws or did you make the indentations?

    ReplyDelete
  34. This is a great father's day card! The sentiment and the cogs with metal brads are really decorative, and your choice of brown enhances the masculine feel of this card!
