Oak Tree Father's Day Card

What perfect timing for the new sketch challenge

at Operation Write Home ! 

I already knew what stamp set I was going to use

for a Father's Day card for my dad

and had a word art created to print inside of it.

It was just a matter of taking the time to

decide how I wanted to design a card with the 

oak tree image from the Lovely As A Tree stamp set.

This sketch posted today was perfect for the card 

I wanted to make!!!!!

Stamp sets were from Stampin' Up!

Lovely As A Tree

Woodgrain background

Teeny Tiny Wishes

Crumb Cake, Textured Early Espresso, Very Vanilla card stocks

various inks and an aquapainter to color the image

scoring board to create the embossed edge around the front panel

two antique copper brads

foam dimensional dots and a scrap of chipboard for dimension

oval Nestabilities die

I drug a Crumb Cake ink pad across the top of the 

woodgrain stamped piece and ran the edges of the

sentiment panel along the ink pad, too

Here is sketch #255 from OWH.
