SSS148_TLC367_CAS160

Here is this week's sketch challenge 148 from The Sweet Stop Challenge Blog...
And here is my take on the challenge. I just sent a box to OWH last week that included Mother's Day cards, so now it's time to work on some Father's day cards. I pulled out all things masculine for this one, including the Super Dad Symbol digi image from SNSS. I added a panel of red that I embossed with the diamond plate ef, added some screw brads, eyelets, and twine to match. The yellow dsp is by Echo Park, and the blue is from the Paper Co.

I made this set of 3x3 cards for today's CAS160 to use a monogram, and for the TLC367 to use one color/no color - stamp with one color ink, and don't do any other coloring in of the image. I combined both these challenges and made a set of gift cards with a matching box. I used Just-Rite monogram stamps with a few scraps of purple and lavender, embossing with a square lattice ef and adding a paper flower. Each card has a different outer design, and if you click the photo you can see the tiny gemstones I added to the design.
That will do it for me today, but thanks so much for stopping by and make it a great Monday!
