For Dad with Guest Designer Donna K

A Sweet welcome to Donna K! Donna will be joining in our June challenges as a SweetStamps Guest Designer and you'll be able to see her posts here on Wednesdays!

Hello from Eastern, NC! I am Donna K from Created by Donna K and I am honored to be posting as guest designer today for SweetStamps.
Just a quick note about...ME: I've been creating with paper since about 1999.  I started with scrapbooking and quickly found my way to cards and mini albums, which are my favorite. I love the satisfaction of finishing a project in a short amount of time. (even though some cards have taken me HOURS to complete!)

I am the wife of a retired Marine and mom of three adult children and one spoiled Yorkie. Aside from crafting we spend a lot of time cycling, walking and riding our Harley. 

I came across SweetStamps via Facebook and I'm so happy that I did. I love the precise images of their stamps and have even played with the SweetCuts dies recently and they are just so very fun!

I hope that you will play along with this week's Dad challenge and link up your project for a chance to win some amazing SweetStamp treasures.

Now on to my card...

My Happy Father's Day card features a variety of papers and textures. 

My "goal" was to make the silhouette stamp stand out as if it were a vintage photo. I stamped and heat embossed the image in black. I think it shows up nicely on the aged papers.

I used the following goodies from SweetStamps to create this card:
Thank you for stopping by today and thank you so much to Stacey and the talented crew of SweetStamps for having me.

I hope you have a wonderful day today!

    So many elements to comment about! I love the silhouette and the touch of burlap and metal and then the soft bow - all adds such interest to this AMAZING CARD!
    Great job, my friend!
