Fishing Father's Day

Hello crafty peeps!

Today I'm starting a series of Father's Day cards that I have

created to send to the fathers in my life.

I no longer have my own father, but there are plenty of 

others that I'd like to share my appreciation with.

For this card I stamped

Fishing Gear, Fishing Hat and 

Happy Father's Day from the 

Happy Birthday set

all from QKR Stampede, 

onto card stock and colored them with my 

Fantasia Colored Pencils

I added a little VersaMark ink and Perfect Pearls

to the fish to give the scales a little shine.

The stamped panel was layered onto kraft card stock and

then adhered to a white card base.

I will add a personal note inside the card.  

Have you made any Father's Day cards yet?

I hope you'll come again soon to see some more

cards in this series.

See you then!

Masculine Happy Birthday

Hello!

Today I have a masculine birthday card that I made.

I used

"Happy Birthday" (#36314) from 

Biblical Impressions

"Fishing Hat" (#20309) and

"Fishing Gear" (#20401) from

QKR Stampede

For my background I used water color paper,

brushed it with a good amount of water then

brushed on water color crayons.

The Happy Birthday is stamped directly onto the background.

I stamped the hat and fishing gear onto

white card stock and colored them with water color crayons 

then fussy cut them.

The are adhered with foam tape to give a little 

dimension to the card.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday

Hello there stampy, crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made with a few QKR Stampede images.

I used "Fishing Gear" (#20401)  "Fishing Hat" (#20309) and "Happy Birthday" set (#22803)

I stamped onto watercolor paper with the "Fishing Gear" stamp and colored it with watercolor crayons.  I used some "Perfect Pearls" on the fish to give it that shimmery, iridescent look that fish have.  Unfortunately the shimmer doesn't show up in the pictures.

I stamped and colored "Fishing Hat" on another piece of paper and fussy cut it, then adhered it with foam tape.

The "Happy Birthday" was stamped onto the card with Moss Green VersaFine ink.  This card could have just as easily been for another occasion.  I just happened to pick birthday.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you will stop over to the QKR Stampede shop and see what other wonderful images they have. 

They have something for every occasion and need.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
