Duct Tape Father's Day Card For MySheri Crafts

Yes, you read it right.  I used duct tape as my designer paper for this card.  I adhered three pieces of duct tape to a piece of white cardstock and embossed it using the Diamond Plate embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  I inked the edges with Cat's Eye to mimic the look of grease.  The wrenches are from the Indie Art cartridge, cut at 3 1/2" and "DAD" was from the Plantin' Schoolbook cartridge, cut at 1 1/2" using the shadow function.  I inked the letters with silver Cat's Eye to give the effect of brushed metal.  The wrenches and the letter A were pop-dotted for added dimension.  I made this card for my father-in-law who also uses a lot of rope aside from the duct tape, hence the Baker's twine at the sides to give the impression of ropes keeping the card together. :-D

  4. Peacht,
    How in the world did you come up with duct tape! You just knocked creativity out of the park with that. The embossing is perfect and using a little ink on the edge to create the look of grease. The wrenches are great. They look like metal on the card.
