Father's Day

FS996 - This week's incredibly talented Featured Stamper is jtrenn (aka Karen). I found this INSPIRATION.

For this card, the sweet little boat caught my eye and felt like the perfect starting point for a Father’s Day design. I pulled out one of the paper packs I am working through this year and trimmed two coordinating patterns, adding black framing to each layer for crisp definition. The panel is mounted on a blue card base to echo the blue in the background paper.

From the inspiration piece, I chose this retired DRS Designs boat and colored it with Copics, stamping the Happy Father’s Day sentiment beneath it. I trimmed the image with a stitched die and popped it up on dimensionals to give the focal point a bit more lift.

A few scattered sequins finish the card with a simple touch of shine.

WT1051 - Boots

When Impression Obsession announced they were closing, I couldn’t resist snagging this boot die cut—it’s just too fantastic!

I crafted the layers using tan and brown cardstock and added gold and white baker's twine for the laces, giving it a perfect finishing touch. Next, I popped up the sentiment and the boot on dimensionals to add depth and layered them onto a tree-patterned designer paper for a cohesive look.
