Stamptacular Sunday - Fabulous Fathers

Wednesday, 17 June 2009
Another day and another challenge that I've participated in! I needed to get my Father's Day card finished by tomorrow as my dad is off on his hols on Saturday and tomorrow is the last day that I will see him. The stamp that I've used for this card was made just for my dad and I knew the minute I saw it on the Elzybells site that I had to get it! The card also fits with this weeks Stamptacular Sunday which is to make something for our fabulous fathers.

Supplies:
Stamps: Snoozing Ted & Take it Easy - Elzybells - Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black & Copics
CS: Bazzill Basics, Doodlebug Design Paper Potpourri DP
Tools: Swiss Dots CB folder, Label 2 Nestabilities, Fiskars Threading Water border punch
Embellishments: Ribbon - Stash, Gems - Papermania

I'm a bit worried that it looks too feminine for a guy so am not totally impressed with it. I would really appreciate any comments and suggests you may have.

    Hi Sarah, I love the cute image and how you have left your nestie on the image while you did the background, I think it gives a fab framing effect. Thanks for joining us at SSC.

    Not at all feminine, I love the Elzybells image and I think the colour is perfect for a dad card.

    lovely fresh looking card the bear is just adorable thank you for taking part at ssc

  1. Hi Sarah,

    What an absolutely adorable card! Love that you used polka-dot embossing and then mimicked it above with the polka-dotted pattern paper! Great effect! I don't think it looks too feminine at all...in fact your color choice is perfect for a man and your design isn't frilly so...no worries! Just my two cents...

    Thanks for playing along with us this week at Stamptacular!

    Hugs,
    Priscilla
