Project 324: Wine cork father's day card
I wanted to make a Father's Day card for my dad using this great Darice cork embossing folder. The colors at Color Throwdown this week were perfect for a wine-related card.
The background is actually darker green but when I flipped it over I preferred the inverse. The greeting is die cut from a scrap I had on my desk that I thought fit the color scheme. I put it against dark brown to stand out more and added a strip of woodgrain paper. It's pretty simple but I wanted to keep the cork pattern the hero and I think the simplicity makes it more masculine.
