AYSI252 Dapper Dad's Day

Hi stampers!  Yay, it's Friday and the start of the weekend!  It's also the start of a new As You See It challenge with a masculine theme:

 

I saw a card recently (you can see it here) that had an interesting engineering facet to it and I wanted to try it out!  Here's what it looks like from the top....four panels that intersect, yet fold flat to create a standard-sized card:

I created mine a bit differently than she did; I had the basic idea in my head but needed some assistance from my brother the engineer!  He gave me the final push, I adapted the sizes to fit a standard envelope, and here we go!  Each panel was covered with some DSPs, and on the slightly larger panels I added some embellishments and stamping!

Here are some closeups:

The papers are all from the Original 6x6" pad by Authentique; the stamped images are from Guy Greetings, and I used various dies and some copper metallic cardstock from last year's holiday catalog too!  Since neither John nor I have any dads left, I'll have to see to whom I will send it!  Maybe my brother, LOL!  Hopefully, I'll make another one in this style and maybe post a tutorial!  And since this has lots of layers, I am entering it in the Always Fun Challenge too!

I hope you'll find some inspiration to create a masculine card this week...they're always a challenge for us stampers, aren't they?  Be sure to check out the As You See It blog to see what the DT created, then share yours with us too!  Thanks for popping by!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
