It's Your Day!!! Card

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Father's Day is around the corner, so I'm sharing a cute masculine card today!

I stamped sentiment (Jack Cardmaking Stamp Set - CTMH) several times on the back panel, distressed the edges (wiht Edge Distresser) and adhered it on green card base.

I trimmed a printed paper panel (Club Scrap Succulents Collection) and adhered it on the left side.

I stamped the bear, cut it out (but there are Thin Cuts dies available - Jack Cardmaking Stamp set + Thin Cuts) and adhered it to the card.
