CHEERS !

Hi friends, and welcome to my blog. Todays card is another for my FIL. This time it's a Father's Day card and I know I'm safe to share it on here ahead of the day as he definately isn't a blogger! I have used another Digistamp Boutique image, this one was a freebie from ages ago. here's my card:
I made a 6x6 kraft cardbase, and Dovecraft Masculine papers, which I've had in my stash for ages. I embossed a panel of card using a cuttlebug folder, and layered it with a Martha Stewart punched border and bakers twine. I coloured the image with Promarkers and layered it onto a nestie cut circle of kraft card and DP, and some tiny gems.
I printed the sentiments in blue ink onto kraft card, then cut and inked them. I really like the effect of printing onto kraft, and will definately use it again, especially for those masculine cards.
I decorated the inside to match.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
