This is the first card I've been asked to make for Father's Day and it's for a colleague's son to give his Grandad on Fathers Day.
The tools for this card were a free download from the Papercraft Inspirations magazine issue 87 where they have got a complete tool box project. The tools have been decoupaged and had Amazing Glaze added to them before mounting them onto a Spellbinders Nestability - labels 11, distressing the edges with Tim Holtz Distressing Ink - weathered wood - and adding brads.
The backing paper was made using the same download as above and I have created my own paper. This has been mounted onto a darker blue paper, distressing the edges as before, then using my Crop a Dile to put eyelets in each corner and adding faux stitching around the outside edge.
The sentiment has been generated using the PC.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Happileigh Scrappin' - stitching
Stamp R Us - going digital
There's Magic In The Air - embossing
