The puzzle is done, the bookmarks are completed and today I made a card! Actually I made 2 of them, and it felt good to dig into my snippets box and make one out of those unfinished projects, or bits and pieces left over from previous projects. I found the embossed panel with men's shoe/boot prints and the card began from there. The black frame was tossed into the snippet box after cutting the center from it a long time ago. The father's day sentiment was on a father's day card made years ago that I didn't like, so I used a note tag punch to make it the sentiment for this card. I found a silver anchor eyelet along with 3 silver brads in my stash, so I added them too. The blue panel was embossed with a SU! seaside ef and sponged with salty ocean distress ink and I added a teal colored border of waves between the two panels done with a SNSS die, and placed it all on a teal card base.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:

Gosh I think your snippets box is actually a treasure trove of goodness... you know I never noticed the boot print embossed until I read your post, its awesome and definitely for masculine feet. Fab card x
Fab masculine card! Lots of wonderful texture and love those waves!
This is fabulous, Carol! Love how you pulled snippets from your box to create such an amazing Father's Day card! Your anchor brad stole the show for me! Love it!!!
The embossed boot prints are so fun. This is a great card. Good for you for hunting through your snippets box to find things that went so well. I hope you keep on enjoying the papercrafts!
