Father’s Day Cards

It’s Father’s Day and I find it very hard to make masculine cards.  I dont know why but I do.  So I came up with some similar but various cards for father’s day this year.  I had 11 cards to make and get out and they are finally done.  I used a couple of techniques with these.  One was the crayon technique where you emboss the card stock, leave in folder and rub crayon on it.  Then you pick your color from stamp pad and add some water to it and brush on or dab on with a sponge then wipe off.  The crayon keeps the ink off of the gears here.  Some of them I purposely did not wipe it off to give it a different look.  I also used twist ties to look like bolts holding the banners on the cards.   Here is how they came out.
