My first card showcases For My Dad. I love this image of stacked books and the glasses on top because it reminds me so much of my Dad. So, I made him this card from my girls for the upcoming Father's Day. I stamped the image and sentiments (one from this set and the Happy Father's day from my previous set, Mothers and Father) directly on the patterned paper.
I die cut the left border with Spellbinders Edgeabilities and punched the small holes. The papers are all Echo Park's For the Record. Ric rac and buttons are the perfect embellishment for this masculine card. I love how vintage-looking this ended up, but with a modern touch.
For my next card, I used the same papers with Dads & Grads. I stamped and cut the tie and embellished it with a button.
I then added two of the sentiments from this set. I couldn't resist and I felt like it needed a bow. I believe it still looks masculine. What do you think? :)
