Happy Birthday to My Dad

This is the card I made for my dad for his birthday. His birthday is not until April 17, but I keep making cards that I can't show yet so I wanted to share something! (The recipients of the other cards I've made read my blog.) I am almost done making cards for April - one more to go.

 Anyway, not the most masculine card, but those are hard for me. I used a Gina K set for the images. I stamped them on cardstock with Tim Holtz Iced Spruce ink and punched them out with a Marvy punch. Then I took another piece of white cardstock and punched three circles evenly spaced. I used my Martha Stewart scoring tool to score a double line above and below the circles. I stamped the sentiment in the same color ink using a Papertrey Ink sentiment. I used the sentiment panel as a template for gluing the punched-out circles onto the card front, and then mounted it on foam squares for dimension.

 Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

    LYNETTEI, I love your card. This shade of green is so beautiful, and I love your use of scoring. NEAT, NEAT, NEAT.

    I absolutely love this card. I love the color of cardstock you chose and the image stamps you used. Not sure I could line them up as well as you did. Never have figured out how to do that. Great card!

    I think your card is beautiful and it can be for men or women. The colors that you chose to use for your fathers card make the card look more masculine. :) Stay warm.

    Oh, this turned out just beautiful! Love the design, colors and stamps. I thought at first it was white embossed on that muted blue, but I see it is ink. Lovely!

    Lynette - loved this card. Cased it using some of the small floral stamps that I have on black then coated with a silvery perfect pearls. Love the black and white look as well.

    Really like this card with the windows and the color of blue. Perfect stamps to use in the openings.

    I really love everything about this card. I have trouble with masculine cards, but this is great, in that it can be for either, but the color lends itself well to masculine.
