Good Morning! Hope you all had a great weekend. I went to a wedding on the Mississippi River this past weekend. It was gorgeous. The groom was a friend of my youngest son. He was 'best man' so I got to see him and my DIL this weekend, too.
I'm celebrating my birthday today, also. Another year older and I feel it as I only slept about an hour last night. That's another story.
For this week's Father's Day challenge at Friends of Speedy TV, I went very CAS. I'm thinking that is all that is needed for a masculine card....no frills. I inked my small acrylic block with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Stormy Sky and stamped. I then added stamped my leaf in Stampin'Up! Night of Navy ink.
The stamp sets I used are Mark's Finest Papers Autumn Glory and Get Reel for the sentiment.
We hope you'll join us this week for the Father's Day challenge#24 and make a Father's Day card. This is the stamp set that a lucky winner will receive.
Recipe:
Stamps--Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Co.-Autumn Glory and for the sentiment, Get Reel, the same as above card
Paper- MFP-Old World Gold
Ink-Tim Holtz Distress Ink/Crushed Olive, Stormy Sky, Wild Honey
Accessories- VersaMark, Zing clear embossing powder, gold metal brads, handmade banners
This is another card I made using the same set.
