Father's Day card...

Hi, 

today I'd like to share this card I made for Father's Day. I tried something new for me and the card is not dimensional. :)

This time a little bit of stamping...

From time to time I make a stamping card so that I do not loose the skill if that makes sense!

This one was inspired by a photo. The Sun is made using a chalk ink pad and a post it note with a punched out circle and the butterfly has been cut out using Marianne Design Creatables Die Butterfly 2. I have also used grass and flowers acrylic stamps and Versafine Onyx Black ink pad. 

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Just Because I Love You...

I made this cute little card for my boyfriend a couple of days ago. I had decided, some time ago, to give him a little something from time to time. Not because it's his birthday or our anniversary but just because I love him...

He was very pleased and the card is being proudly displayed on one of our bookshelves in the living room...

I used scalloped Heart cutting die, Pampered Pets (Vine) embossing folder, locks/keys punch,  Love clear stamp and white organza ribbon. I also used black gems and shimmer burgundy card stock.

Pop over and join us!

My take on the above challenge and my tip for this week:

When making an easel card use 3D foam pads to raise the 'stopper'. That way the card can stay upright.
