Happy Father's Day !!

Here's a card with a difference that I made my dad for Father's Day. I used the gorgeous Max's Backyard range by Cloud 9 (available in Lincraft stores mid to late August). It's a slider card - sometimes called a push-pull card.

While at first glance the card looks quite plain, the subtly patterned paper provides detail without having to add it yourself. The co-ordinating border sticker adds another element of detail without being too distracting. Instead of inking, I've sanded the edges of the paper, as well as the alphas and border sticker.

I cut the dragonfly that's next to the journaling area from the alpha sheet. The journaling area has been detailed by piercing the cardstock (from the back) around the edge, and then inking with distress ink.
