For today's Ways to Use It Challenge (WT426), the topic is Discover! Use or try something new. For me, it was bothI used 2 new embossing folders AND I tried something new to me..embossing on duct tape.
So for my card, I wanted to use duct tape, but could only find some dark almost black duct tape around here, so I used some shiny foil (duct??) tape, stuck it to a piece of card stock and embossed it. I used some lg deckle scissors on the ends of the Man Thing part to look more like torn duct tape. The tool border was colored w/ Copics and I just happened to have a tool bg embossing folder to finish it off. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
I'll bet most of you know or are related to someone described by this card. For me, it's my brother in law. The guy lives for duct tape and bungee cords as a fix all for everything. He also has a lot of old cars. Not antiques...just old, and at least one should have been put out of its misery a long time ago. One year for Christmas, I gave him a new set of bungee cords. This was after my sis opened the hood of the old clunker (car, not brother in law, lol) and showed me how he had a bungee cord holding the accelerator cable. With raised eyebrows I just said "Really?" Then made sure sis was not the one driving the bungee mobile. When I found out he planed on doing some rewiring, I sent my hubby over (he actually KNOWS about wiring). I told him she is my only sis and I would not be happy if brother in law burned down their house.
Thanks so much for looking! it's on my blog: The Write Stuff

OUTSTANDING guy card!! I love the shiny embossed tape (I think I have the same stuff..is it self adhesive?) and your tool embossed bg. The border with the saws, wrenches, and screwdrivers is so cute (ok not a guy descriptive but what do guy's say when something is"cute"?)...GREAT card Julie!! Oh and I LOVE the funny phrase!
