New Daisy Doodles Challenge

The challenge is to make a masculine card for Fathers's Day.  Every year when it's gets close to Father's Day my thoughts always turn to my Dad.  My Dad was a good man and truly was one of a kind.  There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss him.  With him in mind I created this card.


I know ....  more blue and more white space.   And the Lighthouse again .... I just can't help myself.  This image is so versatile ... it can be used for any occasion.  I have another card coming soon using it in a different way.  I hope you don't get tired of this image because I LOVE it!!

I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.  Other than the image the supplies consist of blue and white cardstock .... blue ink .... letter stamps and one small piece of blue ribbon.  That's it.

Go to Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges Blog and see the inspiration there from the rest of the Design Team.  There are some wonderful cards.  Enter the challenge and let us see your projects for Father's Day.  You can visit Daisy's Digi Doodles and see all of her fabulous images.

Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Thursday - for Dad

Thursday - time for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff post.  I decided to do a Father's Day card.  I saw a technique video at Stamp TV using a piece of the newspaper and distress inks and wanted to try it.  So I picked an image that I thought would work with it.  Here is what I came up with:


This is the image.  It is "Most Tools" and can be found at mygrafico.  I took out the wording and added my own.  I hope that's OK Lindsay.

I colored it with Prisma Pencils and OMS...then inked around it with Tim Holtz Linen Distress Ink.

I am excited to see what the rest of the DT has done.  Be sure and visit all of them starting at Lindsay's Blog.  She has a tutorial for you.
