When I got some requests to make Father's Day Cards, I thought of this Stampin Up stamp right away. It is great for many different occasions, and I love it for Father's Day, because it reminds me of my husband. He's not really a "car guy" or a "tool guy", but he likes to go out in his boat. When we were first married, we lived on a beautiful lake in New Hampshire and we owned a good sized sailboat for a few years. We have many fond memories of sailing on Spofford Lake.
I use Smooch spritz to give the card base a speckled background, and stamped the boat a second time on white paper and paper pieced the sails. I love the map background paper, it gives the card a nautical feel. It's simple, but I love it.
Skipping Stones Designs is having this color challenge, SSD #30, and I am entering this card. I don't own any Skipping Stone stamps, and I would sure love to win some.
I am also entering it in these challenges-
Simon Says Stamp and Show "One for the Boys", and
My Mojo Monthly "Man Up" over at La-De-Dah,
and the
Moxie Fab World "Spatter Technique".
Thanks for stopping by!
Definitely a perfect Father's Day card! The Smooch spritz background works really well.
