Father's Day was celebrated here yesterday. This post was ready to go, but after celebrating with Matt and Betsy at her dad's and a long Face Time call with Sarah and her family, we got busy and it just didn't happen.
I'm always happy to make cards for three of the best dads I know--Tracy, Matt, and Adam. All three are hard-working, affectionate, loving, and kind. They've all been totally involved with raising their kids, and put in lots of quality time with them. I made three of the same card this year using Pink Fresh Studio's "Adore" alphabet die. The die cuts two images-a very thin outline and a chunky inner letter.
I layered three of each letter and outline to provide some texture--once with Simon Say's "Smoke" and once with "Slate." To get enough of them for three cards, meant die cutting 54 letters, but I love the contrast so it was well worth it. After assembling the letters I arranged them on a piece of Simon Says "Fog" cardstock die cut with Simon Says "Stitched Rectangles." The sentiment was white embossed on black cardstock with a sentiment from W+9's "Super Star" set which has been a go-to for masculine cards for many years.
I attached the sentiment with dimensional tape, and then adhered the cardfront to a card base made of Simon Says "Slate" cardstock. Another CAS design that I hope all three will like.
I'm linking this up to the "Father" challenge at Addicted to CAS. It's been awhile since I played along with this challenge, and this is clearly CAS!
