SCRAP AFRICA ~ EMBRACE RIGHT NOW

Good Morning on this beautiful sun shiny day.
Today I would like to share my entry for the challenge at Scrap Africa  which is a sketch challenge


Here is my take on the sketch

Embrace Right Now



I was really happy with my Father's Day card I made this year, so instead of putting it in a drawer I decided to attach it to my layout of my Father's Day photo.



I embossed the flair ,clock and cogs, as well as rubbing some metallic and paints on the clock and cogs .




The "Right Now" I stamped onto some Cheesecloth tape and then placed onto a strip of dried tea bag & added old twine



The lovely Embrace word chippy is from Scrapmatts.
thanks for calling by and I hope you are enjoying what is left of the weekend

Love, Peace and happiness

What a great idea to keep a card as a part of a layout! I love how you used the butterfly wings for the man in the card - it doesn't always have to be "man" cards with only "masculine" elements! Thank you for playing along at Scrap Africa.
