Hi friends!
Today I am sharing a Father's Day card I made using a page from Fifi the Papercrafter's new kit called Grungy Mixed Media Backgrounds Kit 3. As soon as I saw this page I knew it could become a card for Father's Day.
I simply printed off this page from the kit on cardstock. I cut it down to 4x5.25" for a card panel. I cut the remaining part to other sizes that seemed to make sense to use in a future project and set those aside.
I tinted the edges with oxide ink to give it a more aged look.
I used this distressing tool to scuff up the edges.
I used a stencil to add some arrows with a blue tone. I think these arrows go nice with anything transportation.
I use baby wipes to clean my stencils and work table. I use a baby bottle drying rack to dry my stencil before I put them away.
I added the sentiment by first dusting the panel with an anti-static powder. This really helps with embossing especially when you want a crisp finish as with sentiments.
I chose a contrasting color of embossing powder, in this case Crackling Campfire Distress Glaze.
I still wanted to adds something else so I used a black splatter ink.
Before attaching to a card base, I used a dark brown ink to add color to the edges. I didn't want this to be a smooth, even colored finish.
I glued the panel to the card base and done!
