The Open Sea Father's Day Cards

Hello and welcome back,


I really love this set and was especially glad when it carried over to the new catalogue, so I have more time to play with it. Still on the Father's Day Theme, I just love this colour combination, maybe because it features Night of Navy...mmmm...could be..we also have Crumb Cake and a little bit of Early Espresso, I don't know about stamp but it sound good enough to eat...

I love the Hardwood background on this card, it gives a very nautical feel to it, the background is stamped in Crumb Cake and the Early Espresso was used for the anchor and compass. I also used it to stamp the ship which I cut out and used dimensionals to lift it up.

This sentiment is no longer available, but I just love it its Fabulous...lol

This card uses all of the stamps in the set, with the addition of the Sentiment from Crazy About you.

Don't you just love these antique brads, they are so beautiful, you won't want to give them away...unless its for someone special and Dad's are definitely that...

So which one do you like the best, the first person to leave a comment will get it posted out to them...

Happy Fathers Day Card

Hey there and welcome back,

I thought I would get a head start on Fathers Day and not leave it until the last minute like usual....
Since we live by the sea I thought I would go for a nautical theme and what could be better that The Open Sea.....lol.

I really love the images in this stamp set.....

The Whisper White background is stamped with Crumb Cake Ink using the World image from the set, to get it I stamped off the card and then on the card giving me a lighter image. I did the same when stamping the dote from the Gorgeous Grunge set. I used another image to stamp a background on the Soft Sky Card.

The sentiment is from the Crazy About You set, If you have the clear mount set you can line up the Happy and the Father's Day stamps on the same block and stamp them together.

I stamped the anchor on a piece of Whisper White and cut it out and tied it to the card with some Thick Bakers Twine. Then I added a piece of the Burlap Ribbon which I had frayed the edges of.

And there you have the finished card....

The card stock I used was Soft Suede, Soft Sky and Whisper White. The Inks were Soft Suede, Soft Sky and Crumb Cake.
