Eureka Stamps Challenge #197 For The Guys - Masculine or Father's Day

Happy Monday!

Eureka Stamps Challenge theme this week is 

For the Guys - Masculine/Father's Day

For this challenge, I used the 32203 Grape Border image for the front of my father's day bookmark and the 32204 I am the Vine for the sentiment on the back:

My hubby is such a bookworm, that when I saw this image and passage, I though they were perfect for him.

I added the sentiment with my own handwriting to dedicate the bookmark for him.

I colored the image outlines with Staph metallic markers, and watercolor pencils for the inside.

I added some metallic details to the letters as well (the J in John didn't photograph as well, though).

I made my own tassel using thick twine for a more masculine touch. I used CTMH B&T for the cardstock.

I hope you enjoy this project and decide to participate in our challenge this week,

Have a wonderful week,

Vicky

Part 2: Father's day Tags and Creative Embellishments Design Team Call

Dear scrappers 

This is the follow up of my previous post:

The tags. I would love to be part of the Creative Embellishment team, thus I wanted to showcase how I can alter their shipboards. I used their gears chipboard for my tags dangles:

For the dangle on the bookmarks, I used Creative Embellishments chipboard gears and double heat embossed them:

First with CTMH silver embossing powder 

Then with vintage photo (rust effect) TH, Ranger embossing powder:

It was kind of difficult to get a good picture of the silver rusted gears

I wanted to explain better this technique, thus I decided to post it separated from the previous post.

I hope you enjoy it

Vicky
