Hats Off to You!

Hi, everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Today's card was inspired by the current CAS-ual Fridays Sketch Challenge. When I first saw the sketch, I envisioned a dad card with nine hats... each centered in a die-cut circle. I just never envisioned a card that would become quite so labor intensive. (Why didn't I just stamp nine hats directly on the base? LOL)

That said, I LOVE the results. Tim's Oxides really are amazing! They really are mistake proof. You just have to keep drying and re-applying. (Okay, that does take a little patience.... but the results are soooo worth it!)

Think this one's going to my dad for Father's Day. He dabbles in painting and would really appreciate the inking process.   :)
