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.

I feel for our young people today, they have so many more difficulties facing them than we had. I hope your card helps to inspire this young man and results in his having a wonderful life to enjoy :)

Brilliant card, Maxine, clever idea with dry embossing brugks then swipe ink for contrast colour highlight.
And Darkroom Door strip hits the mark. Clever indeed!
Thanks for sharing, and may God bless you and keep you and all whom you love safe and well.

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.
