When I see a workbench and tools, even represented on paper and a card, it makes me think about my dad, my grandpa, and my brother. I remember the workbench my grandpa had built for himself in his basement. I loved getting the thing of chalked string and taking it outside on the sidewalk to make a hopscotch. He helped my dad build a workbench in our basement and I remember how the glass jars of screws, bolts, and all the things all hung somehow from the lid. My grandpa also built a small workbench for my brother in our basement, complete with tools of all kinds, maybe some child-size. I liked to play with him at his workbench. Sometimes we would try to make something. I think he had a toy saw that would cut through styrofoam. It was all fun. I can still see that workbench near my dad’s and my brother used it for years. It paid off well because my brother can fix and make anything after learning from our dad.
To make this card, I made a card base of Gray Granite with a layer of Poppy Parade. On the left side of the card, I used the paper that looks like a pegboard and cut it at 3 1/4″ x 3 3/4″. On the right side is a piece of Basic White measuring 1 5/8″ x 3 3/4″. On this paper, I stamped a greeting from the Circle Sayings Stamp Set in Gray Granite ink. I think this would be perfect for someone you wanted to thank who fixed something for you! For the tools hung up on the pegboard, I cut them out by hand from the designer paper with ALL the tools on it! It was fun deciding which tools to use and what would look good on this card.
