The current challenge at https://doubletroublechallenge.blogspot.com/ is a raffle, kind of like a recipe challenge. Anyway I chose the ticket that is for a masculine card or Father’s Day. In our case we no longer having living parents so unless I am commissioned to make a Father’s Day card, I no longer do them.
To make this one, I included the twist of using some Kraft CS, firstly using an ancient background stamp that gives a textured look. I have had it so long that I have no idea of the brand. Using Vintage Photo ink I stamped over the Kraft. Then when it was dry I pulled out a folder by Tim Holtz called Bricked and dry embossed it. I like the look this gave. I backed the layer with some gold paper to give a border and attached to the Cocoa card front. The copper piece was leftover in my scrap box. The motorbike image and the sentiment, are from Darkroom Door rubber stamps. I stamped in black and heat set in clear, then fussy cut before backing it with foam tape. The twine was a small strand left from the other day and I attached it as you see before adding the layer to the rest. After adding the sentiment I used some small sticker stars from my stash to finish the card.
Thanks for joining me today, I appreciate you, any comments and your time.

I like this! I would send this to BIL’s as I never know what to send and it works perfectly for men. Like you, no living parents so no cards for them. I make one for my husband, and that is all. He likes motorcycles, so this would work. I like the greeting. So fun.
