Good morning!!
Today the SweetStamps Challenge Blog has a new challenge for you this week.
This weeks theme is:
FOR DAD
We want to see you make a masculine card for the special Dads in your lives.
Now with Father's Day just around the corner, you know you better get started if you haven't already. Since I already made my Father's Day card, I decided on a birthday card for my father-in-law, who has a birthday coming up this weekend.
Here is my card sample:
This stamp is called Dapper Dan and love his posture and sophisticated look.
I used a lot of my old stash, that I came across over the last few weeks.
I've been re-organizing my room and still unpacking boxes from our move months ago.
If you click on the bottom picture, you see the black dots, those little tags were cut out and placed on chipboard then cut again, to give a little dimension. I just decided to do something a little different and out of my norm.
