I needed a very quick Father's Day card, and Maja's design turned out to be the perfect inspiration. The base immediately reminded me of woodgrain, which felt like such a natural starting point for a Father's Day theme. I pulled a wood patterned sheet from the stack of designer papers I am trying to use up this year, layered it on white for a crisp border, and mounted everything on a blue card base to bring in a bit of contrast.
To tie in the blue, I stamped the Stampin Up ribbon image in a coordinating shade and popped the center up on dimensionals, echoing the look and feel of Maja's original layout. The little bit of lift adds just enough interest without overwhelming the design.
To finish the card, I die cut the word dad from gold glitter paper to create a bold focal point, then added the Happy Father's Day sentiment on dimensionals for one last touch of dimension.
Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.
