This is another card for the troops - if the mail cooperates, it may make it in time for someone to send for father's Day - otherwise the verse is generic enough for any time.
Challenge #1 - for WishRAK week end challenge for the troops - #10, to use a technique from the Resource page. I selected the distressing technique. Admittedly, it is not new to me, but I was reminded that white core paper would work well, so that is what I used to mat the image. The image is from a member of WishRAK.
Challenge #2 - scrappigramma2 is being honored this week - she has a great gallery, and this is the card I selected to case: The Old Oak Toolbox by scrappigramma2 at Splitcoaststampers
Most everything is similar but different. The color scheme, layout and cord are pretty much the same.

What a great masculine card this is, Dorothy! The toolbox and twine give it a great guy feel! Not only that, but your distressed and sponged edges are a knock-out.
