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.

I bet your husband loved this, its fantastic for any music lover out there!! Your design is so good for a masculine card (something I always struggle with....)and the colour-combo is uber stylish too. Fab idea to make one record shiny and your stamping of the sentiment is so perfect. Always so excited to see your incredible cards at TIME OUT!
