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.

I remember this background technique from a few years ago but somehow never got round to trying it. Will have a go this afternoon!

Hi Sue
I remember you showing how to make a faux leather background a few years ago and it makes a brilliant background for your super cars, love the cogs as a border

Love and hugs to everyone
