FOSTV-Father's Day

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.

 I also made a couple other cards for Father's Day and wasn't sure if this one look a little too Fall-ish but l'll show them just the same. I used the Emboss Resist technique and really brought out the sentiment on this one:

You can find this technique here on Splitcoaststampers in Resources.

Today's card is using the awesome stamp set, Scenic Selections. If you like making scenes for your cards, scrapbooks, etc., you'll love this set. I used four of the images from the set to make my card..trees, fence, grass along the fence, and taller grasses in the pasture.  The sentiment is from the Get Reel set featured yesterday. I stamped and stamped off part of the trees. Colored images with Copics

I made an extra card for the hop, going clean and simple. I thought the scene was good for a sympathy card. From the Scenic Selections set, I used a tree, fence, boulder, and grasses. The sentiment is from the Oopsy Daisy set featured on Tuesday.
I think my plaid border and mat look black in this photo but it is brown.

I love this stamp set called GET REEL. It is super for those masculine cards we need to make. I stamped my silhouette image and then sponged for water and sunrise. You know those fishermen love to get up early and out on the water. It makes an awesome card for Father's Day, birthday,  or just a general card...love that it has a father and son or grandson or maybe just a pal.
