Father's Day Golf Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     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



      Challenges:
Cardabilities Sketch #125
Anything But Cute (Make it masculine)
Fantasy Stampers (Your favorite color) green




Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
