(My DeNami Blog Hop card can be found here!)
This week's CAS-ual Fridays #6 Challenge is so much FUN! You have to combine three of the elements that make Tic Tac Toe to create your card. I chose emboss, felt, and twine.
I combined it with the woodgraining technique that is this week's Challenge at JUGS #88. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this card I made for Dear Old Dad for Father's Day. He will Love it!
Here is my card:
First I watched the woodgraining technique video which you can see here. My card base paper is SU Soft Suede. The ink I used is SU Whisper White and then SU Soft Suede.
The felt letters are from Making Memories and were in my stash waiting for the right card to use them on! I heat embossed "there's no one like you" from PTI's Friendship Flowers stamp set.

| The Baker's Twine is chocolate from PTI. I used a copper brad to tie it in because this reminded me of my Dad fixing things at home and copper is a common metal for pipes. That's my card! Let me know what you think of it! |
