Hello Everyone!
In light of fathers day coming up, I wanted to create something masculine.
At first I thought I wanted to create a card, but then I decided something more fun would be an envelope for gift cards.
(You could of course use this base to create a card as well)
Stamps Used:
Other Items Used:
Scrap book paper
Sizzix thinlet die- gift card bag (662687)
Tim Holtz Layering stencil (THMS070)
Distress ink -gathered twigs
Archival Ink- tuxedo black
water pen
Tim Holtz Remnant rubs
Tim Holtz Remnant rubs
I started by picking out the paper I wanted for my base. I went with some Tim Holtz paper that had nice neutral colors and some general text. (looks kind of like a vintage invoice). Using my sizzix gift card holder die, and my big shot I cut my base out.
I used my distress ink around the edges before gluing everything together. (you could probably skip this step. I ended up inking everything again at the end to deepen the color anyway).

After my piece was folded and glued, I stamped "Fabrique De Cravates Ad" in black ink. Then, I used my distress ink to watercolor some shading on the suit.
When I was satisfied with that I used the same distress ink to stamp my clock randomly on the front and back.
To finish this off I added some stenciling details.
I added a remnant rub with "TIME" on it for added detail
I love how this came out, and it was so simple!
(Now I need to decide what gift card I want to give him.... Tough decisions!)
Thank you for stopping by the blog today!
I hope this inspires you!
