Today is Father's Day in the US, and I know three of the greatest dads around. My husband, my son, and my son-in-law couldn't be more conscientious, loving, and devoted fathers. Watching them with their child(ren) is such a joy, and the love they give is returned in kind. I'll be home from Detroit in time to celebrate with Tracy at Matt and Betsy's house for dinner.
This one, needless to say, is for Tracy. Most of the products on the card are from the Simon Says April Card Kit. The stencil is from Crafter's Workshop. I added bright yellow acrylic paint to some transluscent embossing paste. Before I layered on the embossing paste, I did cut a circle mask to save the spot in the middle for the light bulb from "Watts Up" by Simon Says. None of the sentiments in the set were quite what I was looking for, but after searching through my collection I found the perfect one from an old Unity stamp set, "Shine On."
A closer look at the dimension created with the embossing paste.
I was excited to finally get out this cover plate die (Simple Stars) by Papertrey Ink for Matt's card. I colored the cardbase with Copic markers to create the ombre stripes behind the stars. The sentiment comes from an older Papertrey set "Star Prints."
I added some glossy accents to accent the sentiment star.
I used the Simple Stars cover plate to emboss the top portion of Adam's card. The sentiment is from WPlus9's "Super Star" set. It appears that set is no longer available so I'm glad I bought it when it was released several years ago. This might be the third Father's Day that it's seen action, and all three of the inside sentiments were stamped with the Happy Father's Day sentiment from that set.
All three cards use Simon Says "Sunshine" and "Lipstick Red" cardstocks as well as Papertrey Ink's Select White.
Happy Father's Day to all the great dads who make such a difference in their children's lives!
