Hello! I'm back today with another Father's Day card, this time for my dear husband. With some plain cardstock and mixed media, this is what I came up with.
I took my design inspiration from sketch #125 @ Cardabilities.
I started by applying some gesso onto black cardstock with TCW (Well Rounded) stencil. Then I sprayed it with Distress Spray Stain (Brushed Pewter), Lindy's Stamp Gang (Cathedral Pines Green) spray, and Glimmer Mist (Forest Green). I also used Distress Reinker (Pine Needles), dripping it in between the gesso. The green sprays were also used to make the banner where I embossed the golfer using the Hey Life stamp set. The smaller green banner was inked with Distress Ink (Pine Needles and Mowed Lawn) onto white cardstock. Then I used water to stamp the circles using the Background Soup stamp. For the other banner, I sprayed some more Brushed Pewter onto silver cardstock, and stamped it with the Vintage Background stamp. I embossed the Sentiment with green and black embossing powder, using the Contemporary Greetings stamp, which along with the other stamps, can all be found at Red Rubber Designs.

ReplyDeleteVery nice card. I like the shabby look of your cards. Mine are always so "clean". Great job.
