Bloggers Challenge - It's Manly Baby!

Happy Bloggers Challenge Friday, thanks to those who played along with last weeks sketch challenge (one of my favorite types of challenges) it's always wonderful to see how everybody interprets of a sketch!  With Father's Day this weekend, some of you might have already guessed this weeks challenge, seems quite popular for Challenge Blogs this week.  Anyhow, this weeks theme is to create a Masculine card or project.

Not only do I need a Father's Day card for my FIL, but his birthday was yesterday, so my card does double duty!  I used this fabby Wallet Template for my project.  I cut mine with the Silhouette, but just so you know the templates are also available as PDF files, so you can use them without an electric cutting machine.

I embossed the whole piece with a Texture Fades Folder (embossing in sections so the whole piece would be embossed), then highlighted the embossing with Walnut Distress Ink.  I think it would be fun to also distress the edges, to age it a bit, but that was an afterthought.

What a wonderful project....and it was perfect for this week's theme! Bet you FIL loved it? (What's not to love, right?!!) On another note, I had no idea you could download a template in the right format into the Silhouette! Cool idea! Now....I just need to learn to do that.
