This is the first time I've ever 'played' in a challenge and uploaded on the first day of the challenge! Whoo hoo!
I used mostly scraps for this card, including the embossed leaf images; they were in a $1 bag. I used French Script background stamp in Creamy Caramel right over those leaves, then sponged the Caramel around edges lightly and distressed them. The corner punches are actually a Martha Stewart Lattice Edge Punch, just used a little creatively.
Now I only need one more Father's Day card, and I 'm well ahead of the game! Thanks for looking.
