I pulled out some blue and green coordinating strips of leftover papers and cardstock to create the herringbone background for this father's day card. I die-cut all 3 panels with Lil Inker stitched rectangle dies and added a stamped, heat-embossed white sentiment with 2 brads and called this one done.
I'll share this with these challenges:
Word Power #5 challenge - make the sentiment the focus of your card
The Sisterhood of Crafters May 22nd challenge - All About the Men
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.

That background is AMAZING! You have infinite patience! Maybe there's a trick.....I'll have to look it up!

Great looking background, but too tedious for me! Like the brads too!
This is such a cool Father's Day card, Carol!! Love that Herringbone technique on the cardbase and the colors you chouse! All the prints of your DSP go so well together and the added brads finish this perfectly! Well done, my friend! TFS and wishing you a nice weekend!! Hugs~
Great design and colors, like those brads!
Such an effective design Carol, lots of patience needed to line up those strips but great masculine card.

Oh wow what beautiful colors on this! I love your fun herringbone pattern! Those strips are so fun to piece together and work perfectly with those snippets of papers! Really fun masculine card with those screw brads too! Wishing you a lovely Memorial Day weekend my friend!
A great idea for a masculine card - love the colour choices too.
You are always so good with masculine cards Carol, and also with the herringbone panels!!! A great choice of papers, the colours match together so well and the different patterns look great. The simple focal point is just perfect with the sentiment and the two brads!
Have a great weekend you too. dear friend! Keep smiling!
Big hugs!
