Distressed Father's Day


I made this card this morning for my dad for Father's Day. I went with a distressed look for this card and used a couple chipboard embellishments that I've had kicking around for a while now.

I wanted a frame for the chipboard 'D', so a drew out a frame and after a bit of tweaking, I cut it out with my scissors. It's not completely symmetrical, but it'll do! lol :) I distressed around all the edges with some tea dye ink to finish it off.

Well, I have to go get the kids at school and then run to go get Jim at work. I have another couple of cards to make tonight, so stay tuned...
