World's Best Dad
Hello crafters! For the background of today's card, I ripped small pieces of masking tape and added them to a piece of black card. When the entire piece was covered with masking tape pieces, I went over the top of it with a Black Soot Distress ink pad, then sprinkled clear embossing powder over it and heated the powder until it melted. I cut the two cars from the Super Car die set out of Black Gloss card and attached them to the background with mounting foam. I cut the cog border from the Assorted Tool Border die set in both black and white card, cutting two of each. I used the white die cut as an offset shadow behind the black ones then glued them to each side of the card. I cut the World's Best Dad sentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing die and added it to the middle of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size.
