Happy Father's Day

This has been a card making week for me, and there are still more to come.  I can only share one card with you for now.

Spellbinders - Classic Ovals Large & Small

Spellbinders - Twisted Metal Tags & Accents

Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, London Fog

Stamp - Stampin' Up! Countryside

I generated the greeting on the computer since I didn't have a Happy Father's Day stamp.

The technique is from StampTV - Wainscot Background.  

Card for a Friend

I heart Pinterest.

I have had a lot of fun looking on various websites for card ideas.  Sometimes, when I follow a link, I'll end up exploring most of a blog and pinning multiple images.  This was the case with Poppy Paperie, where I found the original idea for this card, which I made for a friend who recently had surgery.

Here is the complicated recipe:

~ Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles
~ Spellbinders Rectangles Small

~ Cuttlebug embossing folder:  Swiss Dots

~ Verve stamps (verse)
~ Stem Silhouettes by Stampin' Up!
~ Oh, So Lovely by Stampin' Up!

~ Marvy LePlume II Markers:  #11 - Lt. Green, #17 - Steel Blue, #10 - Light Blue
~ Lightening Blue ink pad by Brilliance
~ Bamboo Leaves ink pad by Memento

~ Corner Rounder
~ Buttons
~ Glue Dots
~ Fibers
