I’ve finished making my Mother’s Day cards, so I thought I’d get an early start on Father’s Day cards. When I saw the Weekend Sketch challenge (#79) on Jenn’s blog a few days ago, this stamp from the All Holidays set immediately came to mind. I wasn’t quite sure what kind of embellishment to use on this masculine card, and I ended up creating a ribbon “flower” with a big manly brad. The ‘Dad’ rub-on was created with letters from the ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ sentiment in the Chit Chat package (no kidding!).
The technique I used on the Kiwi Kiss panel was today’s challenge on SCS: Embossed Wax Paper Resist. My wax paper was impressed with the Harlequin texturz plate.
Thanks for stopping by!

I am starting my Father’s Day cards, too. I love the colors on this layout and your idea for a “manly ribbon flower.”
I will have to look into the wax paper technique. I don’t think I’ve tried that one before.
