What a fun day! I got all of my "FLYing" done this morning so I could spend the afternoon making Father's Day cards for the church bookstore. WOW! At first I was really bummed that I hadn't purchase "Men of Life" for my Father's Day cards but as you can see, I made out just fine.
I grabbed my newest issue of Cards Magazine (June 2009) and got inspired!!! My ideas came from Dawn McVey (Father's Day: Tea Leaves), Danielle Holsapple (Background Spot and Dots), Davinie Fiero (Owls), and Kandis Smith (Birds). Thanks, ladies!!! You all ROCK!!!
All of the backgrounds were stamped with PTI stamps except for the Tea Leaf paper, which is also from PTI.
Stamp sets used were:
Faux Ribbon, Background Basics: Spots and Dots, Father Knows Best, Fresh Alphabet, Pond Life, Around and About, Wise Owl, Polka Dot Basics, Heartfelt Basics, Mailbox Greetings, Background Basics: Text Style, Bird Watching, Mega Mixed Messages, Journaling Lines, and Trajan Monogram.
Just about all of the cardstock and inks are PTI except for the colors that PTI hasn't come out with yet, like SU! Creamy Caramel and SU! Ruby Red.
Buttons were from my stash and the twine is from PTI and I LOVE IT!!!
My FAVORITE is the way that the background on the bird card was made with Journaling Lines using Ocen Tides ink in one direction and Dark Chocolate for the other drection.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing these cards and maybe I can pass some of the inspiration on to you!
ENJOY!
