Evening
Just
for now I am sticking with the Father's day cards as they really are
worth looking at – hope you will bear with me!
This
sheet was bought from www.craftsuprint.com
and was designed by Janet Briggs – the sheet number is 321851_68
Again
like yesterday this should be a 6x6 card but as I needed to make 3
similar for this lady I wanted them all to be A5 size
I
used a sheet of lemon Adorable Scorable card – this is fab card to
use – as they say at Hunkydory it can be folded without cracking –
well I wasn't sure but it is true – its great!!!
I
came across an A5 piece of pale green backing paper I had printed at
some time or another so used this for the card as it went great with
the card blank and the image
I
used the Martha Stewart bubble bath border punch at the top and
bottom of the paper and stuck it to the card with double sided tape
leaving a border
Next
I cut out the base image from the sheet – it was quite a tight fit
so I cropped some of the printed border and that meant it was the
right size for anywhere on the card.
Out
of habit I always add my toppers to the top of the card but this time
I dropped it leaving space at the top for the sentiment.
I
attached it with double sided tape and added the decoupage to it with
tiny sticky pads
Once
the decoupage was complete I used a large sticky pad on the back of
the tag sentiment and stuck it on an angle across the top.
To
decorate the card I added some of the lovely new card candi – to
the corners I went with pastel lemon decorated with silver stars and
then at the top of the card I used matt black with silver circles!
These really are great to use on any card
At
each side of the sentiment I added a small pointed AB gem which
really stand out and catch the light well.
Glossy
accents were used on the feet, beer bottle, strawberries, the 2 birds
and the blue rim of his hat!
A
great card for many occasions – goes to show one thing – men's
cards don't have to be hard to make!!!
Till
tomorrow....
