Welcome to the Altenew Celebrating Parents Blog Hop!
You should be arriving here from Therese Calvird's blog.
Today I'm sharing a Father's Day card featuring the Best Dad Stamp Set and Best Dad Dies. These awesome images are perfect for my dad who always knows how to fix anything! (Even my kids think so!)
Greetings and the cluster of stars from the Best Dad Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock using Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Faded Jeans Distress Ink was applied over the embossing for embossed resist. I buffed the extra ink off the embossed areas and then spritzed the background with water from a Distress Sprayer before blotting dry with a paper towel. Watered down Black Soot Distress Paint was spalttered over the background and set aside to air dry.
I stamped the images from the Best Dad Stamp Set on Neenah Solar White Smooth Cardstock using black ink and colored in the images with Copic Markers before die cutting with the coordinating Best Dad dies. The images were grouped together as shown and adhered between the two greeting phrases.
The card was finished with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Mini Silver Star Confetti.
