Hi Everyone,
Today is the birthday of one of my most favourite people in the world – my Dad! Words really cannot express how much I love my Dad and how highly I think of him. We had a lovely day, with the entire family, celebrating his special day. It was wonderful and I know he had a great day which is the most important part.
I made him a card, of course! I confess I had a few technical difficulties so it isn’t quite what I had planned to make but I am reasonably happy with it.
Here it is:
Happy birthday, Dad!
Materials used: Stamps – A Little Lovin’, Hullabaloo (Paper Smooches); Wise Dies – Clouds (Paper Smooches); Distress Ink, Hero Arts Shadow Ink, and Copic Markers.
I had planned to use the cloud die cuts as a template and to sponge a paler blue over them to make a soft cloudy sky but I was too heavy handed. After the second attempt went wrong I realised I no longer had time on my side and just had to get the card done. Soooo…I need to try that technique again. I’m thinking a sponge dauber might be more effective than applicators I tried. We shall see.
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Our cool change has just come through so it is a rather pleasant 25°C right now. No rain though and we reallllly need the rain. There are fires all around and the rain would really help!
Happy Stamping!
