Happy Father's Day

Hi Bloggers.

A nautical theme for today's card from the recent Pick of the Day. Not long now till Father's Day.

For the background, I covered a piece of card with Idea-ology Symphony Tissue Tape, wrapping the excess around the back of the card. I added a bit of colour to it with Weathered Wood and Faded Jeans Distress Stains. I wiped off the excess ink and then inked around the edges with Pool Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I then randomly stamped the anchor and ships wheel(?) stamp from the Justrite Anchors Away Clear Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I coloured around the ships wheels with Sunflower Matt Drawing Ink from the Summer Fayre Set.

I popped the map frame onto my acrylic block and placed the ship stamp in the centre. I stamped using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut in out using Justrite Nested Oval Medallion Dies and inked through the die towards the centre with Pool Adirondack. I coloured the outer frame using Marigold Matt Drawing Ink from the Autumn Shades Set and the inner frame with Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Antique Tags One Dies and inked through the die with Pool Ink.

I tied a knot using Black/Ivory Grosgrain Ribbon.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlscent PVA in Black around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
