Father's Day

Hello! Wow, I can't believe how hot it is today and how hot is was yesterday! I decided to photograph my card outside today because it's so nice and bright!
I made this card for my dad for Father's Day, coming up in a couple of weeks. I thought this cute High Hopes image would be perfect, ha ha!


Materials:


Image: High Hopes


Sentiment: Printed Off The Computer


Lettering: Cuttlebug - Fairy Alphabet


Papers: Basic Grey - Max & Whiskers


Cardstock: Bazzil


Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Brushed Corduroy


Twine: From Liz


Lace: From Heather


Buttons: From My Stash


Colouring: Polychromatic Pencils


Eyelets: Unknown - From My Mum's Stash


Glossy Accents: Anita's




I'm entering this card into these challenges:


- Basic Grey Challenges - Shabby Chic (Torn Edges and Distressing)


- Creative Inspirations - Cute Bears/Animals Only


- Cute Card Thursday - Embellish It!


- Oldie But A Goodie Challenge - Lots of Layers


- Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Father's Day/For A Male


- The ABC Challenge - V Is For... Variety (At Least Three Types of Embellishment)




I used Glossy Accents on my image, which you can see a bit more clearly in the picture below. It looks like he's getting a good tan in the sun, hee hee! I'm really pleased with how it turned out and I really enjoyed doing the torn effect on the backing paper and the image. I saw it on one of my mum's vintage cards and thought I'd try it and I think I'll definitely use that on cards in future!


















I've had a lovely week off school! I went to see the new Pirates of the Carribean film the other night and then went to Pizza Hut afterwards, and I thought the film was really good!


I've also been shopping and tonight I'm going to see Take That in Manchester for their Progress Tour, I'm so excited! I will definitely post some photos soon!




Anyway, I'd better go now and tidy up my crafting mess before I start getting ready to go later on! Bye for now and thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a lovely week!




Love, Georgia xx
