Hello All,
Today I will be playing along with Freshly Made Sketches, The Color Throwdown, and Mod Squad. I have a lot to talk about on this card. So, without further ado here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| Father's Day is right around the corner so I thought it would be a perfect time to create one. You will notice the background paper is a bit unusual. That is because it is from an old phonebook. Remember those? You actually had to know your alphabet and spell what you are looking for correctly? Oh, my kids will never enjoy the frustration that comes with not being a good speller. |
 |
| So this is the phonebook page. When I want to iron off some embossing I go to the trusty phonebook, pick a page, and iron it off. That is exactly what I was doing when I thought of Mod Squad. I ripped out the page and found it translucent where I ironed off the embossing from the other project. This was so amazing and never saw anything like it. |
 |
| Above: A piece of patterned paper was perfect to place behind this page. You can sort of make out the pattern and see the phonebook page at the same time. Very cool effect. Left/Below: I stamped the bubbles and pops in gray then I had a piece of plastic that I die-cut into clear bubbles. I used glue dots on top of the stamped bubbles to adhere to the plastic. Right/Bottom: The cap from the brown bottle seems to be falling away from the bottle as it pops and fizzes. Along with the bubbles, it creates a good sense of movement. |

I hope I explained the phonebook debossing technique well enough for you to possibly use it. If I was as clear as mud, please contact me and I'll explain further.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day and stay crafty my friends.
All the best,
