Stamptacular Sunday - Fabulous Fathers

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.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - #1 New Beginnings

There's a new challenge blog started especially for stamping - Stamptacular Sunday Challenge. Being a new blog, what better start than New Beginnings. You can make a card for any form of new beginning as long as it includes some form of stamping!

I have to admit to being pretty predictable going for a new baby card and, when I think of new baby's, out comes by PB Baby Hammock stamp! It's just such an adorable stamp and perfect for any new baby. The image has been stamped and coloured with copics before being cut with nestabilities and mounted on a light pink scalloped circle. The base is made up of white cs that has been partially embossed using the swiss dots CB folder before being mounted onto light pink cs. Baby Girl has been cut using a Sizzix die from the same light pink cs. To finish I've added a small heart gemstone to the centre of the pink heart and another above the "i" of Girl.



I've finally been able to use my new personalised stamp which arrived at the beginning of the week and I couldn't resist adding a piccie of it!! I've got to say a HUGE thank you to Stacey for pointing me in the right direction! It's so cute!! Considering it came from Malaysia, it was here within a week of me confirming the design, so fantastic service!

Anyway, I hope everyone is well. Thank you for stopping by and any comments you may leave, they are greatly appreciated.
