Welcome
I have been away from home visiting family for Easter, and although I had my computer with me, I forgot to grab my memory stick when I packed. Thankfully I have my camera with me, so I downloaded the photos of this card directly to my laptop...
This was made for a young boy who needs some affirmation.

I started with the sentiment strip - It is a Darkroom Door Stamp, Dream Big. I embossed it in white on a 'cranberry' card snippet, and also embossed the sentiment in white to match on another snippet.

The background is part of a paper napkin, glued to card and then embossed with a brick folder.
I wiped a Catherine Pooler Aquatini inkpad over it.

I finished the inside with a strip of the dark card over some aqua striped washi tape.

Love this Maxine, what a great idea to use the embossing folder and ink it over the paper, I must try to remember that. A Super masculine card.
