CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF871

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is this square card sketch. I haven't made a square card in eons!

I decided to make a Father's Day card for my sweetie. Mainly because I can hand it to him and not pay extra postage for a "non-machinable" envelope. *grin* This year Father's Day is the same day as our 50th (!) anniversary. All I can say is, the man is a saint for tolerating me all these decades. 😆

I started with a 5" x 10" piece of Old Olive, scored at 5" and folded. The background plaid measures 4-5/8" square, and the smaller plaid measures 3" square. After adhering the smaller square, I masked off the bottom, stamped the leaves from Spotlight on Nature and colored them with the Light Old Olive Stampin' Blend.

Black baker's twine was wrapped twice around the plaid pieces and tied in a bow, then everything was adhered to the card base. The greeting from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack was popped up on dimensionals. After I finished the card, I thought the small center square needed to pop a bit more, so I took a super-fine black pen and carefully traced around it so it showed up better.
