This is the second attempt for my Father's Day card. The first one I wasn't crazy about, I kept looking at it and just wasn't happy with the way it looked. Then I saw a this card on Pinterest which inspired me to make this one.
I applied distress paints - Faded Jeans and Weathered Wood - to an embossing folder and spritzed it with water. I took a piece of watercolor paper, laid it on top and gently pressed it into the paint. When I lifted it, I had this wonderful effect! I really like this blue and grey together.
After it was dry, I adhered it to an Enchanted Evening cardstock card base, cut to a 5" x 5" square. I stamped the sentiment in grey ink on a banner die-cut in watercolor paper, and scored it to make it dimensional. I die-cut the letters in Enchanted Evening and Soft Stone cardstock and layered them to give a shadowed look. They're on foam tape for additional dimension.
To complete the card, I tied Stone twine around the spine. I am soooo much happier with this card! And I had enough paint left over on the embossing folder that I was able to make 3 additional cards in different styles....I'll be posting them later.
