Happy Father's Day

Hi Bloggers.

My daughter, Kathryn, has just started a blog (not a crafty one). If any of you would like to go and have a look then you'll find it at http://cat-gotyourtongue.blogspot.co.uk/

I've had a request for me to share a card made with the Vintage Car Pre-Cut Stamp. I made 2 cards with this stamp so I don't know if this is the one that's wanted or not.

I stamped the Vintage Car using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Black Detail Embossing Powder. I stamped the sentiment below it, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Black Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One and inked through the die with Black Soot Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.


I cut the next but one of the Grand Decorative Labels One dies and after embossing, left the card in the die. Using the stamp in my hand I randomly stamped the A6 Newsprint Stamp and the A6 Plaid Stamp using Black Soot. I made sure that the edges of the die were cleaned of ink and that the stamped areas were dry and then inked through the die with Black Soot.

I layered the two Labels die cut on top of one another with 3d foam and added some Black/Ivory Grosgrain tied in a knot.

Let me know if this isn't the right card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Morning Julia, Just popped across to Kathryn's Blog and left a comment, but now I can't remember whether I wrote 'Kathryn' or 'Julia', so if I got it wrong (because it hasn't been published yet) please apologise to Kathryn, it's an 'age' thing you know ha ha.
    I love your card, love that vintage car stamp, it is so cute, and the background, as always, is stunning.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Hi Julia, Lovely male card. I had the Grand Decorative Labels die at the top of my list when I went to the NEC yesterday. Hardly any Grand dies there, either they had sold already or C & C had them all. I was very disappointed, but still have them to look forward to. Will miss you on the telly this week :-)SueL

    Morning Julia, super card, very versatile as a change of colour would make it perfect for a lady passing her driving test or in same colours for a gent. Perfect for Father Day though.

    Morning Julia, This card is beautiful and the stamp is so versatile it would be great for your Grandad, your Dad and if you changed the colours it would make a stunning wedding card, or even a passed your driving test. I have got these Grande dies and used them on a card for daughter in-law. The card was shown on C&C, the dies made my card look stunning! Have a crafty day Debbie Ravenhill xx

    Morning Julia
    Just had a look on Kathryn's blog what fantastic pictures left her a comment to the same effect.
    What a beautiful card absolutely super I love it, where would we all be without your's and Sue's inspiration.
    Kathryn should be up here in Cumbria with all our snow, she would have a great time with her camera. At the moment the snow drifts are just asking to be photographed.
