When asked to make a masculine card for a challenge I do always head back to my Tim Holtz products.
The base card is kraft card stock with a layer of dark green card stock.
The embossed piece is kraft card stock that I stenciled with Tim Holtz “splatters” stencil and Distress gathered twigs ink.
Then I ran it through the Big Kick with the embossing folder from the Tim Holtz “Coffee Time” set.
On a strip of kraft card stock I stamped the letters to spell “dad” using Tim Holtz “lower block foam stamps” and Distress pine needles ink.
I stencil this piece as I did for the background, layered onto a strip of green card stock and applied it to the card front.
On another piece of kraft card stock I stamped the coffee cup from the same Tim Holtz set twice, onto white card stock once using StazOn timber brown ink.
Using the dies From the set I die cut the kraft cup and a sleeve from green card stock.
I trimmed out the circle for the sleeve from the other kraft cup.
Once they were all glued together I glued it to the card front.
What a great card, love the use of kraft paper and fabulous background!
