Father's Day Take #2 Using AHSC #5

I've been having so much creating using my own sketches over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  Darla and I have been busy every week prepping for the next weeks posts.  Darla is the techy behind my sketches. Once I've sketched out my ideas, I forward them to her, and she turns them into a digital copy.

So once again here is the sketch for this week:

This is what I created using this sketch:

I made another Father's Day card using Chocolate and Desert Sand Cardstock.  The cardbase is Chocolate CS with a layer of Desert Sand which I spritz with water, crinkled and then laid flat to dry. I then gave it a light sanding to enhance the faux leather look.  I also used this technique with the layer of Chocolate cardstock. I added 3 brads, and some faux stitching to add some light details.  Then for the sentiment I used the World's Best Dad stamp from the stamp set.  I added shadowing by stamping in 2nd generation chocolate then stamping with a Chocolate Pigment ink so that I could Heat Emboss the top, I stamped overtop of my first stamp, but slightly to the left creating that shadow.

Now don't forget to head over to the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and check out what our Design Team has created.

Super Dad Father's Day Card for Sketch #4 AHSC

Have you been playing along?  I know, the kids have been sick, or maybe you've had alot of gardening that needed to get done, well whatever has been keeping you from playing along with our weekly Sketch Challenge over at Atlantic Hearts we hope you can find some time for yourself and play along.  Did I mention I am a co-founder of this Sketch Challenge along with my good friend Darla, you can go here to see her take on my sketch,(but not before checking my card out).

This week, I have used my Sketch to make a Father's Day card.  Here is the Sketch:

This is what I created using this Sketch:

Starting with a Black Cardstock Card Base, I then added a Cranberry Mat.  I used a chipboard star which is a Dimensional Element from Close To My Heart and inked the edges with Outdoor Denim.  Then I added to layeres of Cardstock, the bottom is Outdoor Denim, the smaller is Honey.  I then stitched the 2 pieces together before adhering it to the chipboard.  The Ribbon is retired Outdoor Denim ribbon, which I adhered using Liquid Glass.  Then added some bling which is the Black Opaque adhesive gems.  The sentiment is stamped using the Hodge Podge Alphabet to spell out Super Dad, which is stamped in Outdoor Denim Pigment ink and then Heat Embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.

I hope you will visit our Sketch Blog and play along with us, but now you can pop over to our blog, and see what our Design Team has created, and see our Top 3 from last week.

Happy Fathers Day

Wishing my husband, and father of my 3 amazing children a Happy Fathers Day.  Also would like to wish my father and father-in-law a Happy Fathers Day.

So with that done, I'll now show you the cards I made using the Art Philosophy cartridge and Fanfare paper.

So I cut the card from colonial white cardstock, the background from Fanfare, and the stars from Dutch Blue cardstock and Honey cardstock.  I layered the stars and to give it dimension I put a glue dot between the blue and yellow.  Then I stamped DAD on the front using the Urban Alphabet.  Pretty simple and I think it turned out wicked!

I also made some Fathers Day cards from the kids to give to their grandfathers.  I used the Miracle paper, and let my oldest daughter play with the design.  This is what she came up with.

Once again the Art Philosophy cartridge was used to cut the cards and the designs used.  She used Olive and Chocolate Ink to stamp and distress, and the stamp used here is from the Pemberley Workshop.

My husbands grandfather's birthday is in a couple of days so we made his birthday card and his fathers day card from the Miracle paper aswell.  The stamp used here is from the Family Love stamp set.
