I wrote the sentiment myself, I think it's more personal, and since the card is kinda casual, I thought dad would like it better that way!
Bye for now...
I played along with Color Throwdown's Challenge #11 this week, combining it with a challenge from Shirley's 2 Girls blog [hosted on Karolyn's sweet blog] who created this little "Buck-a-Roo" stamp.
I used Copics on this image, they're really addictive! I've been buying up a bunch of stamps to color them with lately! I did some faux stitching, too. My hubby was wondering why I was running around this morning frantically looking for a thumbtack and a pice of cardboard, when I should have been getting ready for work! I made the card last night [around 1am?], but when I woke up this morning I felt it needed a little something else!
Enjoy your day!
I used Copics to color Ian, and a bunch of Stampin' Up! DSP scraps. I sponged a little Whisper White Craft Ink onto the retired Cool Caribbean cardstock base, and the "waves" were punched with a new EK Success punch, out of Baja Breeze, Not quite Navy and retired Soft sky stock. Kraft was used for the sand. What you can't see is that the water & sand were embossed with Big shot Texture plates. The ribbon and buttons are from all over...
I got a visit from the guy in brown yesterday with Stampin' Up! goodies for my Big Shot... so for this card I used the Cherry Blossom Embosslits Die , the Simple Flower Embosslits Die , and the Scribbles, Swirls Sizzlits Die. The papers are all retired... gotta use 'em sometime! I also used some Button Latte, for the centers of the flowers, for kicks! I picked the ribbon up at a local craft & hobby mega store...
Enjoy your day!
