And here is the card I created:
I made this card for my dad for Father's Day. He loves motorcycles, so this image is perfect for him. I stamped the image on the tag; I love how it looks when it is partially stamped like this. Then I used the same image and stamped it multiple times to create the background panel. I heat embossed the sentiment in silver on the black panel, used a stencil to create the stripes on the card base, and layered everything together. I finished off the tag with a piece of black suede lace and some black Nuvo drops. The sentiment is a little hard to read, it says "The journey of life is made easier by the footprints of a father like you." Ooo . . . I just really love how this turned out.
