Father's Day Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     I wanted to get an early start on Father's Day, so I made this card for my dad featuring stamps from Red Rubber Designs! Since my dad's always attracting animals, and especially birds, I thought the See Beauty stamp would be perfect for him.

     I stamped and layered the duck image twice with white and kraft cardstock, colored it with Distress Inks, and used some brown sprays on the kraft background. To the background of the image, I added some stamped trees with the Tree Silhouettes stamp, and colored the trunks and branches with a marker. Then I attached a small silver brad to the compass on the left.

     For the sentiment, I used the Contemporary Greetings stamp onto a piece of kraft cardstock that I added some LSG Magicals (Sandra Dee Sepia and Greased Lightnin' Green) to, giving it some great texture. I also used the Sepia Magical with some brown sprays added to some clear gesso to a strip of drywall tape along the bottom.

            Thanks for looking, and be sure to shop Red Rubber Designs for some amazing stamps at great prices!

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.

Herbs and Honey Happy Father's Day Card ~ FotoBella DT

    Happy Father's Day! I just wanted to pop in real quick to share this card that I made for my wonderful Dad using Basic Grey's Herbs and Honey I want it all bundle from FotoBella. I also used this versatile bundle on my Mom's Mother's Day card. The pears on the paper that I cut out were just perfect for my Dad, since I've always called him Mon Pere, which means my father in French. I used the French phrase for Happy Father's Day using the mini alpha stickers.

    I took my inspiration from this sketch used for the June Card Challenge at Scrapbook.com.

    I used The Crafter's Workshop Well Rounded stencil to mask the circles with a golden yellow gesso. The Printed Kraft Bags were, once again, the perfect size to hold money or a gift card! I wrapped some brown sheer ribbon around it, which I had in my stash, along with the yellow rick rack.The small screws and wood stake came in the Die Cuts and Transparencies. I finished it up with machine stitching in three different colors. 

Thanks for stopping by!
