Vintage Masculine Card

Here is  a card for my dad.  It has a vintage masculine look,  just like him.

I decided a couple of weeks ago to not buy any new paper all summer long.  I made this card with paper from my scrap drawer.  The background paper is a diagonal stripe from an Oriental Trading Christmas stack.
The phonograph is a cut from the Cricut cartridge BILLIONAIRE.
The shirt and tie are cut using white card stock from the Cricut cartridge SIMPLY CHARMED.

 I inked around the edges of the shirt with charcoal Color Box ink.  I created the pattern on the tie with the Just Rite Vintage Wallpaper Stamp.  I then cut the stripes for the tie from the a piece of the background paper used on this card.  I then layered the shirt and tie on two Spellbinders Labels  # Seventeen.  The labels were inked with bronze.

The word DAD is cut from the Just Rite Stamps Myriad Pro 95 Pt  and layered on Spellbinders Labels #3.  The letters were stamped with brown ink and then the edges of the labels were inked in bronze. 

 This is a wonderful Alphabet stamp set, and can be used in so many different ways.

I stamped the sentiment on a Spellbinders circle cut.  I used brown ink to stamp the sentiment and bronze and brown to ink the label.

The sentiment is from the Just Rite Birthday Sentiment Stamp Set.

This was such a fun card to make.  I had no plan in place when I began this project.  I guess it would be described as a "Fly by the seat of your pants project".  But, by the time I finished it, I loved it.
