World's Best Dad

 

Today's card was created for the latest Inkspirational card challenge. I started by stamping the elements from Stampin' UP's Ocean Front stamp set onto white cardstock using Tim Holtz distress inks. I stenciled the seagulls using Newton's Nook Designs Retro Sun & Palms stencil set and black ink. I stamped the sentiment from Verve Stamps World's Best stamp set at the lower right side of the card and then cut that down into a focal panel using a stitched rectangle die from Paper Rose Designs. I matted that onto some teal cardstock I got from Michael's using thin foam tape and adhered the whole panel to my A2 white card base. The little gems under the sentiment are left over from a diamond gem kit I had last year. They are perfect for cards and I just didn't see the point in the throwing them away. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you and yours are having a safe and wonderful Memorial Day!

World's Best Dad-Coffee And Cards With Celeste And Deb

Hello, in honor of Father's Day Debra and I decided to create masculine cards using this gorgeous mood board. And we have our crafty friend Michael joining us this month too! Using masculine patterned papers from ki's Vintage Charm 6x6 paper pad and a fun sketch I found on Pinterest I created my card. I stamped the image from Stampin' UP's A Good Man stamp set using Memento tuxedo black ink and colored the image using my Copic markers. I fussy cut the image and popped it up on the card using foam tape. I stamped the World's Best sentiment from Verve Stamp's World's Best stamp set using Gina K charcoal brown ink. Using some of the dark brown patterned paper that I used on the background, I die cut the word DAD using a mini My Favorite Things Essential Alphabet die and adhered the letters below the stamped sentiment. I finished off the card by adding some smoky blue sequins from The Ton and some faux stitching around the fishtail banner that I created using a Jillian Vance die. 

For my coffee, I opted for an iced Thai coffee with cream and lime! Now, be sure to head over and see how Deb and Michael were inspired by this month's inspiration photo!
