Best Dad

Welcome

Today's card features a few new-to-me sets of stamps that I picked up.

Since my husband is such a record/music fanatic, I thought these sets would work great for future card making.  

For this one, my son asked if I would make a card for Dad for his birthday.  I was happy to crack them open and get to work.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by cutting my main panel from a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I placed that into my Misti and tried to figure out how I wanted to stamp the records from the Vinyl Greetings to create a pattern for the background, leaving enough room for the sentiment.  Once I figured that out, I stamped the records in the background using some Versafine Clair Noir ink.
• Using another scrap of white cardstock, I stamped another record with the black, clear heat embossed it to make it look shiny and fussy cut it out.  I set that aside.
• I placed the main panel back into my Misti and using some Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink, I stamped the sentiment from the For the Record set by Honey Bee Stamps.  That set has all kinds of great sentiments that can work for a music lover.  
• I stamped the 'DAD' from that same set with more Memento and then punched it out.
• I pop dotted the embossed record over the sentiment and then pop dotted the 'DAD' over that.
• I glued it onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
