Happy Father's Day to My Guy

Welcome

Today, I am having fun creating a card for Father's Day for my husband.  I am using the newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Swirling Droplets

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

• I placed the Swirling Droplets stencil over a piece of white cardstock and randomly inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stencil and then rubbed some of the Peacock Feathers DOX ink along the edges of the card front panel.
• Next, I used my black Posca pen and splattered the whole panel.
• While that dried, I stamped and clear heat embossed the beer cans and fussy cut them out.
• To add colour to the cans, I pressed the Cracked Pistachio and the Peacock Feathers ink pads onto a piece of acetate, sprayed with water and dragged the stamped cans through the wet ink.
• I stamped the sentiment from the same set onto a little piece of inky cardstock and then set aside to dry.
• I glued the card front panel onto a piece of pale green cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the cans over the center of my card front and then added the sentiment under it using some more of the foam tape.
• To finish my card off, I added 2 black gems on either side of the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:

Happy Friday and Welcome!

Today's card is a simple one using and old pair of jeans and my Gel Plate.

A good masculine card to have on hand.

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

• I cut a piece of white cardstock first and got out my Gel Plate.
• I pressed some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink onto my Gel Plate and using a brayer, I smoothed it all out on the plate. 
• Next, I took an old pair of my husband's jeans and pressed them onto the plate to transfer the details of the pants.
• I lifted the pants off and took my white cardstock and rubbed over my plate to take the print.
• When the piece was dry, I stamped the sentiment into the corner.
• I glued the card front onto a piece of black cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
• To finish the card off, I added 5 silver gems under the sentiment.

With Love

Hello and Welcome.
Here is a 'grunge' style of card I made for my oldest son as I am missing him during this time of isolation.
I think it's good to add some grunge when creating a guy card.

Here are my card details.
I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I laid the Messy Dots Grid onto my card front. I love this stencil for adding the look of distressing to a simple card.  I added a few drops of Distress Re-inker to a baby wipe and pressed that through my stencil to give a more diluted effect.  I also rubbed some down my card front to add to the distressed look.
While that dried, I fussy cut out a heart and stamped over it then inked the edges with some more green DOX inks.
I placed the dry piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment using some black Versafine.
I pop dotted the heart over the inky background then mounted it onto a heavy white card base.
