Father’s Day Card for FF0035

Ready to honor the father in your life with a watercolored Father’s Day card? That’s exactly what I’ve made for Festive Friday, where we are celebrating Father’s Day with a Blue twist!

father's day cardIsn’t this a great Father’s Day card? It’s also suitable for a masculine birthday, too.  It features the “A Good Man” stamp set, available in Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog, set to go live June 4th. I opted to focus on both the Father’s Day aspect of the challenge, and the color blue. Enjoy!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

The “wow” factor on today’s card is the colored image of a relaxing dad. Can you believe coloring has never been easier? I simply used a variety of Stampin’ Blends®.   For the exact colors, simply click on the tutorial button found at the end of the Design Tips section.

Father's Day cardAs you can see, there is a slight sparkle on the sand. I applied a very light layer of Shimmery White embossing paste.  Not only is there a sheen, there is a wee bit of “sandy” texture.  Notice the tiny little speckles? I used a toothbrush dipped in watered down ink to flick a few speckles for interest.

Father's Day cardNight of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker’s Twine, available June 4th, is used to suspend an anchor from behind the sentiment.  The Sail Away Trinkets will also be available June 4th.  What I love about this card is that it is perfect for a birthday card, as well as Father’s Day…and you don’t even need to switch out the sentiment!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Today’s card is easier than one may think. Why?  Because I let the designer series paper do most of the work.  These sweet little birds? Yep, they are snipped from the Bird Ballad paper.

sweetly feminine thank you cardThe two larger blossoms were stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  They were colored to match the paper with Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends, and then snipped out with paper snips.  How about that nifty label?  Once the sentiment was stamped onto Pool Party cardstock, I used the smallest Stitched Nested Label die to cut it out.
