Well since it's almost halfway through the year we know Father's Day is approaching. I made a cute card featuring dad's tie. I tried my hand at sewing once again for this one. I really love how much the sewing adds to the cards. It just gives it more dimension, more detail.
The base of the card is a deep burgundy that looks a little worn. I used an argyle print green and burgundy patterned paper that matched the base beautifully. On top of that I used a complimentary green colored cardstock. I sanded the edges to give it a worn or distressed look then zig zag stitched a border. The tie has two layers. The base layer is the same color burgundy as the base card and on top I used a patterned paper from the same collection as the argyle paper. I wanted the tie to stand out and I think the blue with the burgundy accents on it fit perfectly. The caption was stamped using Tim Holtz's distress ink in brick red.
