Happy Father's Day!! Well I wonder how many fathers will be stopping by here today,
LOL. Oh well, they just don't know what they are missing do they. My DH (dear husband) loved his card, so I had to show it off to all my friends. I have been wanting to do this card for months, but didn't want to spend my own money to buy the set. Thank you to the Queen of the
RubberQueens (Ronda), as I
won the Nature Silhouettes stamp set free just for visiting her blog. I got it just for my DH, who is a wolf lover (yes, we had one as a pet for many years and he still has his
doggie dish). Yesterday was my big day to try it out and this is what I came up with. I used the sponging technique, which I have done for years, but was taught a few new tricks from my sideline
Tamie Ackerson (
SU Advisory Board Member). I did mine a little different. I embossed the black
silhouettes with Black
EP after I sponged the background. I sponged with
Baha Breeze, More Mustard, and classic Black inks, on Whisper White
cardstock; layered on More Mustard, Jackpot
DSP, and Kraft
cardstock for the base. Then added a couple of the More Mustard brads. My sentiment is from
Three Little Words, carried over to the inside with the
I Love You stamp from the set. I also used the new
Teeny Tiny Wishes set and the discontinued
Versatile Versus on the inside; along with carrying over the
Nature Silhouettes images on the inside. I loved how this turned out, and will definitely be doing this at a card class, as it is so hard for me to come up with masculine cards.
Sandi i posted a comment last night but it must of not gone trough. But just wanted to tell you that I really like your card. You did a supper job with it. The background shading is good and the overall layering and layout is well planned. I still do not have this stamp set yet but when I do will keep your ideas's in mind. Have a good day love ya, your #1 sis
