Happy Father's Day

I got around to making one Father's Day card for my son today.  Now I have to make one for Hubby but knowing me it will be last minute.  Here is the card for my son.

Quite a while ago I removed most of my stamps from their wooden bases to save a ton of room and  I put them in clear cases with a sample stamping and the manufacturer's name but some of them got by me and this is one of those that slipped by so I can't tell you who the stamp is from.  What I can tell you is that I love it and really think it makes for a great masculine card.  Almost every Sunday during the summer months my son and DIL try to get to the beach to relax for a few hours and then have dinner by the ocean so I thought that this was the perfect image for his Father's Day card.  I used Very Vanilla, Basic Grey and a tiny mat of Basic Black all by SU!.  The background paper is from my stash and it was a small piece so I was able to use it up.  For the larger mat I stamped it with the Weathered background stamp by SU! (another Oldie but a Goodie) with Crumb Cake Ink.   I decided to add three gold brads to even things off.  That will do it for me today.  I thank you for paying me a visit and I wish you all a great night and rest of the week.

  4. What a great card for your son! I love how you stamped the image on designer paper and I love the background too. I'm pretty sure that's a SU! background stamp called "weathered" because I have one and LOVE it too! Have fun with those oceanside lunches - I wish I could join you :)

  5. Fantastic design, Donna! The unmounted mess at my house is not to be believed. Just ask Carol! Some things are just classics, and I do believe the SU! backgrounds are among that group. Have a great weekend.

  9. Marvelous card, Donna! I love the beach theme and that it fits so well for your son. :-D I will no doubt be MIA for the next couple of weeks since I leave early on Friday for the next round of vacation travel. I'll visit if and when I can while I'm gone but will check in for sure when I get back. :-D
