Tool Celebration - Stampin' Up! Vintage Tools

   I'm working on some guy themed cards for Father's Day and used the Global Design Project sketch challenge for this one.  The elements scattered diagonally across the card front works well with the variety of tools in the Vintage Tools stamp set.

  I paired the classic tools with a fresh color combination; Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate and Parakeet Party.  That bright green really pops against the neutrals.

  I stamped the tools in either Basic Gray or Crumb Cake and then colored them in with Blends.  This set doesn't come with dies but I found them pretty easy to fussy cut. Once they were cut out I adhered them to the card front either flat or popped with dimensionals.

  The banner is stamped and adhered to the center along with a little Basic Gray baker's twine bow.  To round out the design I scattered some Parakeet Party matte decorative dots around the tools.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
