The boy fishing stamp from Flourishes' Kids at Play set was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black on a piece of white card stock that was brayered with Pool Party, Summer Sun, and a hint of Pumpkin Pie was sponged on under the tree. The sentiment is from the same set and the Happy Father's Day sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Boys Will be Boys set. A piece of black twine was used to string on the buttons. I started at one end and ran the twine through the holes and then added another button. When the last button was strung on, I clipped off the ends and adhered the string of buttons to the card with glue dots. This is a Father's Day card for one of my sons. TFL and I hope you can join us for this weeks TLC challenge!!!
