Happy April! I know yesterday was the first, but things have been a wee bit hectic the past couple of weeks and I just didn't get a chance to post. I can't even tell you how happy I am to say good-bye to March and hello to the promise of spring. What's even better is that Easter is this weekend! My favourite Holiday AND my sweet boy's 8th birthday all in the same weekend! Yup...life isn't slowing down anytime soon!
Today I have a Father's Day card for those of you who want to get a head-start on projects for the men in your life. This one uses the
Guy Greetings stamp set...
I began by stamping the
Dictionary background on a piece of
Whisper White card stock using
Sahara Sand ink. Then I stamped several images from the retired Extreme Elements set using
Lost Lagoon and
Hello Honey ink. The DSP is from the
Moonlight DSP stack. The focal image, from the
Guy Greetings set, is stamped in
Smoky Slate ink and then coloured with the Smoky Slate and Skin Tone Blendabilities (still love those markers!). I die cut the focal image using the Ovals Collection Framelits and then stamped more of the images from Extreme Elements, around the edges. I also inked the edges in
Sahara Sand to add to the grungy look.
The sentiments, also from the
Guy Greetings set, are stamped in
Basic Gray and
Lost Lagoon inks. I fussy cut the curvy banner and used the banner punch to trim the ends of the straight one. I added some
Burlap Trim and a couple of
gold sequins for embellishment. The entire card is built on a
Sahara Sand card base.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from
Guy Greetings in
Basic Gray and added more images from Extreme Elements in
Hello Honey and
Lost Lagoon inks.
Have a truly blessed Easter weekend with those you love!
