Cut the kraft colored cardstock in half. Fold one of the 8 ½” x 5 ½” pieces in half to form the card base. Glue the herringbone paper to the front of the card.
Sponge brown ink on the edges of the herringbone paper and the edges of the dark brown cardstock. Attach the dark brown cardstock on top of the herringbone layer.
Randomly stamp leaves onto the green cardstock with Versamark watermark ink. Use brown ink to sponge along the edges and stamp “Happy Father’s Day”. Attach on top of the dark brown layer.
From the remaining kraft cardstock cut a 3/8” wide strip and sponge with brown ink. Thread through the ribbon slide and attach to the front of the card. To make the strip and ribbon slide look like a belt and buckle, cut the strip and overlap two pieces. Your finished card will be 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and can be given as a gift to enjoy!
