This is a card I had submitted for publication and that did not get selected. Since the All Holidays set and Greenhouse Gala papers are retiring, I thought it would be fitting to share it here.
I love handcutting the zigzag paper from the Greenhouse Gala paper pack and adding it to a project, which is what I did here to create my background. The Daffodil Delight paper has been wheeled with the Texture wheel. The sentiment was inked with markers and after it was stamped, I used my Early Espresso marker to fill in the letters of the first and last words, which are open on the stamp and letting the cardstock colour show through.
I added a ribbon knot made out of marina Mist large grosgrain ribbon and tied a Pumpkin Pie button on it with Cherry Cobbler baker's twine. Then, I added brads alongside the paper edge and glued the sentiment block (on which I rounded corners using the Corner Rounder punch) using Stampin' Dimensionals.
An easy-peasy card for the men in your life!
