Day 145: Father's Footprints Father's Day Card

In order to create this card, I used the following images from Repeat Impressions: 4028-H, "The journey of life . . ."; 2720-G, "Left Boot Print"; and 2721-G, "Right Boot Print". These were my main images on this Father's Day card I created for my Dad.  When I was a little girl, my sister and I always untied my Dad's work boots when he got home. When I saw those boot prints, I knew I had to make a Father's Day card for him. I used some "dirt" paper as my background for the boot prints and for the "journey" quote. I used my Crop-O-Dile to add gold eyelets in each corner of the dirt. I used a map from an atlas with my home town on it as a background. My Dad was a truck driver and the map ties in well with the "journey" quote. I felt like the card needed something else, so I used a compass stamp from Stampin' Up! (SU). I punched it out and mounted it on a couple of different sized circles, used my double slit punch (SU) to thread some ribbon through and then adhered an antique brad (SU). I mounted it all on Chocolate Chip card stock (SU).
