Happy Fathers Day! My dad does read my blog, so No daddy-o this is not your real card. You'll have to wait until Sunday :)
Over at Fantabulous Cricut it is Challenge Me Monday. Challenge #115 - Fathers Day card/project using outdoor theme: hunting, hiking, fishing, etc....
For my Design Team card I used a 3-1/2" x 8" card for my base. I started with a piece of Tan cardstock cut at 7" x 8", folded in half long side.
I added pattern paper from Glitz "Pretty in Pink" 6" x 6" pad. I cut the top piece 3-1/4" x 3-1/4", the strip piece cut at 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" and the black connecting piece was cut at 3/4" x 3-1/2".
I made the sentiment on the computer and cut the tag at 2" x 3-1/2" and trimmed the bottom with a square punch to make a banner.
My Cricut cut came from the "Just Because" Cards cartridge found on page 49, <Fishing> using the sticker feature cut at 3"
For the finishing touches I added brass buckle hardware which was attached with brass brads. I tied a jute bow int he center. I also added black adhesive rhinestones.
Have a Fantabulous Monday and remember to Catch the Frenzy!
Fabulous card! I LOVE the way you've used the little buckles!! I must remember that as it looks amazing with the hemp twine!

Oh Karen, this is a spectacular card! I love those muted, "manly" shades! The image is perfect and those buckles are just an amazing touch. I've never seen those before and love the way they look on your card! Love this!
