TCC197 Happy Fathers Day

 

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our #197 {Industrial Modern} or {Nature Calls} Challenge at The Card Concept!  

 I loved the feeling of both of these photos!  I was inspired by the corrugated texture of the rusty wall as well as the colors in the Industrial Modern photo and the fishing images in the Nature Calls photo for my Clean and Layered with a bit of shabby Father's Day card. 

I hope you will take the time to visit The Card Concept Challenge to check out the rest of the Design Team cards- fabulous inspiration from all!

As many of you who follow my blog know, I enjoy participating with other online challenges and used the Splitcoaststampers Sketch SC867 for the layout. 

I am also be playing along with the Simon Monday “Masculine” Challenge along with the Word Art Wednesday #599-#600 Anything Goes Challenge.

If you have not already visited us at The Card Concept, I hope you will find the time to do so.  Wonderful inspiration from the rest of my DT sisters as well as the other challenge sites.

The fishing hat/creel basket image from the retired Stampin’ Up! Angler stamp set (from 2004) was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  This is one of my favorite images for Father's Day cards, especially for my Dad who loves to fish :-)

Once the embossing had cooled, the image was colored with water-based markers and distressing ink.  

Die cut the colored image with the Hemstitch Square Die and layer onto a piece of chocolate cardstock. 

The teal background panel was crimped with a crimping tool (this tool is at least twenty years old as well). 

The lure stamp images from Angler and Fly Fishing (both long ago retired Stampin’ Up! sets) were inked with Hickory Smoke distress oxide ink before stamping over the rust background panel.

The sentiment from the A Man of Knowledge stampset (Stamp Simply) was inked with Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Once the sentiment cooled, die cut with a fishtail banner die, score ⅛” on both sides of the sentiment and fold to create the banner. Layer onto another banner die cut from chocolate cardstock.

Layer the main image panel along with the sentiment with dimensional foam.
