 | | In Australia, we celebrate Father's Day on the 1st Sunday in September - and this is the card I gave to my husband yesterday who is awesome father to our daughter. This is the 1st card I have made for a couple of months because I have been sick so it was good to be creative again :-)
This is also my card for the SCS Free for All Friday Challenge F4A275 of Honor Thy Father from May - and of course, I am late for the challenge but I wasn't ready to make a Father's Day card back then. Good thing that you can play anytime as there are no time limits on SCS Challenges! Here is a link to the Challenge---> F4A275...Honor Thy Father...(5/29/2015) by dawnmercedes at Splitcoaststampers
The Bear image is by Docrafts from their Wellington Bear Decoupage Pack (paper tole is called decoupage in the UK) & already came diecut so it was super-easy to pop out the pieces and layer them together using dimensionals. The designer paper is an old one by Kaisercraft - Reminiscing which I picked up at a clearance sale. The side panel was punched using an EK Success Open Scallop border punch and popped up on dimensionals to accommodate the Jute Ribbon which is quite thick. I added Fray Stop to the cut ends to stop them from fraying as this ribbon starts fraying like crazy as soon as you cut it!
I added Glossy Accents to Wellington's glasses which looks really cool in real life - but it is hard to see in the photo. I added 3 x brown brads from my stash to the bottom right-hand side. The sentiment is also from the same decoupage pack and was popped up on dimensionals.
The chocolate brown and dark teal cardstock layers were trimmed to 1/8" using my Perfect Layers Tools; the kraft cardstock layer was trimmed to 1/16". The corners were rounded using my Stampin' Up corner punch.
I think you could use this Wellington Bear image for many occasions & not just for Father's Day.
Thanks for having a peek at my card! Please come & peek at my blog - this link will take you directly to my blog post: http://instead-of-ironing.blogspot.c...-day-card.html
