I was inspired to pull out last month's new release goodies to create a Father's Day card for my hubby.
I started this card by stamping the bottom left corner of a piece of watercolor paper, in Jet Black ink, with the "Love you much Dad" sentiment.
Jake was then stamped, in Jet Black ink, just above the sentiment itself; watercolored; and dressed in a suit to match the color scheme, all created in the same way as Jake himself, hand-cut out, and embellished with a few white Gelly Roll pen polka dots.
I then trimmed its left side with a strip of feather, patterned paper, which brings in all the colors from the inspiration palette below, as well as a die-cut strip of an aqua, polka dot print and anchored them both with black-threaded, straight, machine stitching. Everything was then splattered with the same aqua watercolor used previously, as well as Pure Black and Titanium White acrylic paint, before being adhered to a white, cardstock, card face and dressed up with a length of green ribbon, tied in a bow.
Further inspiration for this card came from Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes...
and here's your Inspiration Challenge #44 graphic to get you going in the right direction.
