Father's Day Card

Hi Guys,
Hope your all well and everything in your part of the world is going great for you! Sorry for the long delay in posting, where dose the time go lol!

Just want to share this card I made for Father's Day. I used my new Cuttlebug Diamond Plate Embossing folder and took inspiration from Leigh's wonderful Cuttlebug cards.
I was trying to emboss with tin foil and I brought loads of different brands, but found it wasn't working for me and Hubby suggested to use a soft drink(coke)can(I didn't have the heart to tell him that it's not his original idea and that I've seen it on the net somewhere but forgot all about it until he mention it lol) and presto, it went through my BigKick like butter and I LOVE the end result

So here's my card

  10. Wonderful card! Leigh is so good with her ideas for the embossing folders and you have added another idea. Now I am on the scout for some tins as none are used in my house! I am at my son's now - he will have heaps in the recycling bin LOL!!
