Happy Father's Day

 Today is Father's Day in Australia, so I made a few cards using the Happy Father's Day Fancy Die from Hero Arts - the great thing with this die is you can get two cards for the price of one! 

Hero Arts Global Team April blog hop

Today, the Hero Arts Global Team is having a blog hop! We're all using products from the April release - I made two cards using some of the MMH add-ons.

Happy Father's Day

 Today is Father's Day in Australia, so I made this card for my Dad.

 

Cutting a panel of alcohol ink and alloys on Yupo into strips means that I can keep plenty of white space on my card, and I also get two cards from one background - win win! (the sentiment is a very old stamp from a company that no longer exists, called Artee Stamps.)

Happy Father's Day

 Today is Father's Day in Australia, so I made these cards for my Dad. 

I used alcohol ink on Yupo, with silver foil added before it was totally dry. The sentiment is from a company that no longer exists.

For this 2nd card, I used acrylic paint and camellia leaves on my Gel press.The die cut happy is from Hello Bluebird.

Happy Father's Day

It is Father's Day in Australia tomorrow, so I have a handful of Father's Day cards to share.

All of them have a panel of Yupo with alcohol ink, and a comparatively simple sentiment. 

This sentiment is from a company that no longer exists, sadly. 

I used a sentiment stamp set from Studio Katia for this card, with the "happy" embossed on vellum:

I used a die from Lil' Inkers to cut the square from this yupo panel.

Happy Fathers Day

It was Fathers Day in Australia on the weekend, so I made this card for my dad (he likes blue, too!)

I CASEd THIS CARD by Lisa Tilson - I changed up her idea a bit by not using foil, and by impressing the bottom edge of the happy die into the white cardstock - I thought it would make the sentiment clearer if the outline of the whole word was visible, but I wanted to do partial die cutting, so I thought this was a way to get the best of both worlds.
For the alcohol ink background, I tried something different - I had added lots of alcohol ink to a yupo panel, and realised I had added WAY too much ink, so I grabbed another piece of yupo and smooshed the two pieces together - I will be trying this again, because I was really happy with the result! It looks super smooth!
