Hello there! I hope your week is off to an awesome start! At least we survived Monday, right? I have a friend that recently retired. She said every night feels like Friday night and every day feels like Saturday... how cool that would be!! I have a few more years to go but not too many. Hopefully it will feel like that to me too! I wonder if I'll craft every day?? I think I will! :)
As usual Tuesdays always mean it's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge! This week's S.I.P. Challenge #149 is all about Dads & Grads!
I've been playing around with some of my Concord & 9th products from their April 2018 release. I used the Sketched Stripes Background stamp on this one along with the Painted Rose Dies for the "thinking of you" sentiment. For the DAD in the background I used Stampin' Up! Large Letters Framelits. I haven't made an Eclipse Card in a while and felt like this was a good time to do so!
The sketched Stripes were stamped in Soft Suede and Chocolate Chip Ink onto Very Vanilla SU Cardstock. I cut the panel out with a Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Rectangle Die. I cut the DAD out with the Large Letters Framelits. I also cut out 3 layers of the same letters in Early Espresso Cardstock to stack under the letters. All of the letters were adhered to each other with Tombow Multipurpose Glue. I cut the "thinking of you" sentiment from the Painted Rose dies out in Early Espresso cardstock twice so I could stack them. I adhered them over the DAD with more of the Tombow glue. The front panel was matted on a larger panel of Soft Suede that was cut with a larger Stitched Rectangle die and then those were mounted onto a Dark Brown Woodgrain Card Base.
I love the way this turned out and I hope you do too. Masculine cards don't have to be boring, right?
Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings, Tina
