Hello! Long time no post! I lost my card-making motivation after making all those mama's day cards. I almost didn't make any papa's day cards...but somehow pulled through at the last minute! Yee-haw! Well, I didn't completely succeed... my hubs's daddy isn't getting one of my cards b/c I would've had to have mailed it last Mon and I only started making cards this past Thurs. Oh well. My sister-in-law took care of getting him a card so it's all good.
So this card is for me own papa. I really don't have any appropriate guy stamps, so I made do with a cutesy image...at least it's not flowers and bunnies though, right? I don't think my dad will mind overly much.
So this little bear is from C.C. Designs Sweet Treats set. I mostly got that set for the super cute monkey (my favorite animal, if you couldn't tell from the blog name), but after giving everyone monkey cards, my mom said I really should expand my horizons. haha... So I took my wise mother's words of wisdom to heart and used this little bear. It's not really related to father's day anything but it's cute and I like it. hehe...
I used a Clean & Simple sketch for my layout. I stamped him on a circle that I Cuttlebugged, then sponged Memento ink around him. I colored him in with Copics, trying to shadow the left side more to give him some depth. I used some Diamond Glaze on the ice cream, but you can't really tell. I need to get me some Glossy Accents....
I used PTI Polka Dot Basics I with VersaMark ink to stamp polka dots on the background. The design paper is from Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety. Also, I faux-stitched along the DP with a white gel pen. Haven't done it before and I like it...
The sentiment is Savvy and stamped on a Nesties Tag Trio, also sponged with the same Memento ink as the circle. Do you see the knotted part of the ribbon on the left side? I didn't want to just lay it flat and there was no DP on that side of the ribbon to hide the ribbon end under, so I just decided to knot it and hold it in place with a glue dot. I dig it...

That is too cute! You can totally see the diamond glaze on the ice cream (delish!). And I *love* the faux stitching. Gonna have to try that myself.
ReplyDeleteThe photo doesn't really do the card any justice. The card looks really nice when you look at it live. Anyway, you got the ice cream in there and that's all that matters since dad loves his ice cream!
