For My Hubby

I'm so incredibly blessed to have such a great husband - and oddly enough, I'd say the same thing about the kids and having a great dad :) I love the Dad stamp set from Rusty Pickle, and couldn't pick just one "label" so created the panel using all the applicable images. The card layout is based on this week's Mojo Sketch, but I did take some liberties with it. I dug deep into my embellishment stash, and came up with the ruler twill tape and the metal thingamabobs that roughly resemble screw heads. Hopefully he likes it, too!

Blessed Father's Day

Father's Day is looming large on the horizon, and thought I'd share this card I made for my Dad. The background panels are made using the faux leather technique; rather than embossing the panel, though, I covered it in glossy accents. It did take awhile to dry (which is tough when you're an impatient creator such as myself) but I do like the outcome. I ended up trimming it down to three panels, then mounted it on black. I added the sentiment (Clear Dollar Stamps) in black and brown - that's always safe for a masculine card, right? I know it's not exactly a traditional father's day card, but I just wanted to let Dad know that we appreciate the heritage he's given us. The inside reads, "And we're blessed to have YOU!"
