tool time!

Here’s a “tool”-riffic card for a dad who’s handy…

 

 

Smooch Accent Inks make it easy to transform a simple card into something special. All the stamped images were embossed in black, then Smooch Accent Inks were used to add borders to the sentiments and color in the tools. Each bottle has a precision tip built into the cap, so it’s easy to get the ink where you want it, even in TEENY-TINY spots.

 

Here’s a closer look at the tools…

 

I used a two colors on Smooch on the wrenches to add a little shading.

 

Here’s what you need to know to make this card for your “handy”-man…
