Dad

I have posted a card very similar to this before, so I will post pics only.


Well, I was only going to show pics, but here is more detail:
1. Card Base: early espresso from Stampin'  Up
2. Chevron Layer: From DCWV Haberdash stack
3. "Wood" layer: light brown paper from Recollections, run through the embosser with a wood grain folder. I think inked the debossed side with Crumb Cake ink from Stampin' Up.
4. Screwdriver: I don't have a cartridge with a screwdriver on it, so I welded a bunch of simple shapes from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge to make it. You can get the cut file here: http://www.cricut.com/project/ViewProject/4206/Mr-Fix-It-Card
5. Screws: free clip art
6. Dad: Free font though I can't remember from where I downloaded it. You should be able to find it if you Google tool fonts.

Feel free to "steal" this idea and make it your own! Have fun

    1. Georgiana, thanks for the kind works. I have added onto the content of the card description and have added a link to the cut file for the screwdriver. I don't have a cartridge of a screwdriver, so I used shapes in George to make my own.
