Happy Father's Day

Pin It Now! My family & I just got back last night from a wonderful long weekend spent in Colorado. It was so hectic before we left & I didn't get a chance to have anything ready to post while I was gone so........here's my belated Happy Father's Day card:


The color scheme is Early Espresso, Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla, & Basic Gray. The truck image (from the set "Countryside") was inked with Versa Mark first & immediately re-inked with Soft Suede before stamping it. I then used clear embossing powder on top. I used a blender pen with Basic Gray & Sahara Sand markers to color the second image (also from "Countryside") . The Ticket Corner punch added a little something to the layers. I can't seem to do a card lately without reaching for my favorite set, "Teeny Tiny Wishes", & the punches that coordinate beautifully with it; the Modern Label & Word Window punches. To add a bit more texture I layered a strip of Early Espresso card stock over a piece of Very Vanilla satin ribbon. Who says you can't use ribbon on masculine cards? ;)

That's all for today but I will be back soon with another fun creation :) Hope you all have a wonderful day & thanks so much for all the words of encouragement!

  1. I absolutely love this card! I like the way you used the pump as a layer to compliment the truck. Thanks for stopping by my blog and blessing my day. :)
