One last thing before I get to my card today. This is my last post as a member of the Senior Design Team with Flourishes. The time has come for me to make more time for my family this summer. The boys are getting bigger and the activities, well, they are getting bigger too. So, sadly I have to say goodbye to Flourishes for now.
Okay, now for my card. I chose the Fathers Day stamp set and stamped the image using a Versa Magic Dew Drop in Nightfall on Flourishes Classic Kraft card stock. I then stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink overlapping the image.
I sponged the edges with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain then distress them. A simple piece of Chocolate Seam Binding with some ivory jute and a button finish it off. The patterned background paper is from the Kaiser Hunt and Gather paper pad, but the polka dot is a scrap and I can’t remember which pad it came from.
I know you'll be inspired and come away with some great manly ideas! So stop by and see:
Thanks to all of you who regularly stop by to see my Flourishes creations. Things will be slow for the summer…slower I should say, as I have already scaled back quite a bit, but I will still be here posting when I can. Have a wonderful weekend!

It's a beauty of a card too - the sponging is really rich for the image and I love how the sentiment intertwines with the image.
