I fell in love with the "brother sentiment." It fits my brother so well that I decided to make this card for his Birthday in July. I know my SIL reads the blog so Pati, don't show Mike!
I cased the idea from a card on Pinterest (posted to my Club Scrap Board). I used the text weight DP that had the fabric look to it. I wanted more of a blue jean color than the khaki color on it so I inked it first with Faded Jeans Distress Ink, then Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. I stamped the seam, twice so it was long enough, on a separate piece of paper with Chipped Sapphire, cut it out and glued it to the DP. Then went over it with Brushed Cordouroy Distress ink for the dirty jean look. I stamped the leather patch with Brushed Cordouroy onto the khaki/craft cardstock and then the sentiment with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. With four mini brads in the corners this looks almost real. The Ribbon is from the Club Scrap Embellishment Kit. I stamped the buttons with Versamark Ink and embossed them with Zing Bronze EP. I punched them out with a 1/2 inch punch and mounted them on 3 layers of cardstock to give them some dimension. Here's a detail picture of the buttons.

ReplyDeleteAw, what great memories of your grandpa and Dungarees digital does seem to be perfect for them. The card is awesome, too, your brother will love it!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME page. My grandparents had back issues of National Geographic in stacks under the coffee table in their living room. I would spend hours looking through them. My Papaw gave me a subscription to NG one Christmas and it just wasn't the same as looking at them at their house spread out on the living room floor!
ReplyDeleteWonderful layout! Love the memories behind it. Love the extras that added to the card too.
ReplyDeletePerfect scrapbook page and card.with all the Dungarees elements.
