JAI #230 Just Add DAD and PPA#218

This weekend was Father's Day here in Australia, and Just Add Dad is the challenge for Just Add Ink this week. 
You can check out the great cards by the design team here.



This simple banner card was one of the designs I made for Father's Day this year for my stall at  The Handmade Expo Markets. I had forgotten how much I like stitching on cards - the effort of getting the machine out is really worth it!  Sahara Sand and the Champagne Glimmer Paper work well with the Hello Honey. I am also entering this in the Pals Paper Arts Challenge which is a colour challenge this week. There's a tiny bit of blackberry bliss in the fabulous DSP.


Here is another sample of the same style of card

My other Father's Day Card is the Tag Card, 
which is slightly more elaborate but definitely worth the effort. 
You can find the instructions for this on my blog here.
 It is the August 6th entry.

Thanks for looking, and I hope all the fathers in your life had a beautiful day, Liz

    All of the cards you've made are beautiful, Liz - but the first card is a stand-out for me. LOVE how you've used the colours, and added texture. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
