Good Afternoon,

Recipe:

Cardstock: Recollections

Patterned Paper: DCWV: the dots, stripes, & plaids stack

MME: dream paper pad

Image: Silhouette Studio file- Click Here to download

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress: mowed lawn, faded jeans, walnut stain

Embellishments

Google Eye

I created this card using an image I found on google, I altered the image and created a studio file with it. I inked the edges of most of my papers and created my banner from a strip of white cardstock. I folded the strip every few inches then inked up my newly created banner! I choose a few papers from the MME Dream 6X6 paper pad. This paper pad has been great for male cards, I have used it on the past 5 cards Ive made for men. I highly recommend adding it to your collection, I picked it up at Michaels.
