A friend asked if I'd make her a Father's Day card for her husband. I scratched my head a bit and came up with this one. The center image is a scanned copy of the men's shoe section page from the 1936 Galeries Lafayette summer catalog I have in my ephemera collection. I like using my own ephemera whenever possible. It makes for a unique – one of a kind – card. I don't have any Father's Day stamps so I printed the sentiments on some vintage paper I have (I save any and all old blank paper I find), then cut them out with dies ran through my Happycut. I distressed inked all the edges for a warm, weathered look, added a leather button, then some checked ribbon and twine. I daresay, I'm rather pleased with the result.
Material
