Father's Day Cards

Wow, it's been a while since I have added a post, so I am sharing a couple of father's day cards, just in time for father's day tomorrow.

The first one is a very simple card. I used the 'wood textures DSP' for the background, the 'dad' die cut (die is not SU) and the banner. I added the sentiment and a screw from the 'urban underground embellishments'.

The second card is still simple, but has a few extra elements. I used very vanilla cardstock for the base and top layer, and added some strips of DSP and early espresso cardstock to each side. I used the texture paste (added a couple of drops of sahara sand ink) and the brick wall stencil to create the brick background, making sure it wasn't perfect...as I wanted a weathered look. The 'happy' word was die cut from the 'happy birthday' die in both early espresso and cajun craze and raised with some dimensionals. Lastly, I added my sentiment, banner and a couple of screw brads, then added the top layer to the card base.

I loved how both cards turned out. The second card is the one I am giving my dad this year.
