Welcome
Here Down Under, we observe Father's Day on the first Sunday in September - which was yesterday.
I live with family, and they are masters of the 'last minute rush' , so Saturday afternoon I was asked for cards.... I made two, and this one was for my DD to give to her DH

I had just come across this piece of grey green pearlised card in my stash, so started with that - and embossed it with a very old Creative Memories folder

I decided that deep green would be the card base, and I used snippets of that green from my stash to silver emboss the sentiment and image on - both are freebies from old magazines

I cut the embossed panels with square dies, and then a silver matting layer with a die one size up. Adhered these to the embossed panel, then when I went to adhere the main panel to the base, decided to add a sliver of silver behind the opposite corners...

I added silver polka dot washi tape to the inside panel and also the envelope
DD was very happy with this.

Snippets used were the pieces used for the embossing - from my box of bits
Thank you for visiting
A great card,, love the fun sentiment.
