Happy Fathers Day

Happy Friday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Great Impressions Blog. We are celebrating Father's Day this coming Sunday. So in honor of that event I created a card to honor the Dad's out there.

My card is using 2 Great Impressions Stamps. The sentiment is "all about men"- G266 and I stamped in olive ink. The word "Dad" is from the "circle framed alphabet stamp- K83".  I stamped in black ink on olive card stock and used a circle punch to punch out the letters. 

I made the bow tie with a die that is designed for paper bows. I like how it turned out. I saw the idea on Pinterest. I don't usually make cas cards, but I think this one is perfect for the right guy. I will be giving this to a friend of ours who fits the bill.

Well that's it for me for this week. So until next time........inky hugs.

All About Men

Happy Friday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Great impressions Blog. Another weekend is upon us and this one is a very special one here in the U.S. We are celebrating Mother's Day. So I send inky hugs to all the Moms and Grandma's that may read this post.

Since my Mother's Day cards are all done and I showed them here, here, and here, I thought I would start making some Father's Day cards. I send a lot of cards for this holiday as well. My hubby, sons-brothers and friends always get a card from me.

For this one I used the Great Impressions Stamps - "all about men"- G266.  I stamped on my cherry cobbler pennant flag and on the image panel. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig for placement. This stamp is a great one that describes men in many different roles. I love the words and it is available in the online store.

My image is "old fishing truck - E502".   I colored it with prismacolor pencils and gamsol and cut it with a Spellbinders lables one die. I added some glossy accents to the wheels and the side mirror.

I liked the masculine appeal of my patterned paper and kept with that theme by adding  die cut chevrons in a dark espresso brown and blue to finish my card.

Well that's it for me for today. See you next Friday.
