Best Dad in the World!
Well it's been a beautiful day here in the UK - summer is well as truly on its way! I love June, for many reasons, but it's my birthday month, so that's another reason to love it.
This card is for my Dad for Father's Day. I've used a Martha Stewart deep edge border punch and slightly customised it to create the shiny black trellis border at the top. I think that gives the ric rac ribbon some balance nearer the bottom of the card.
I've been doodling all over with my white gel pen! I did some 'morse code' doodling around the "Best Dad" sentiment and doodled the "in the world" to mimic the doodlebug rub ons. And of course, not forgetting the faux stitching around the edge =)
The video is below. I hope you enjoy it and that it gives you some inspiration for your own Father's Day cards this year! Don't forget to head over to my YT Channel to rate and subscribe.

ReplyDeletehow did u coloured dat zigzag strip black? wat was that thng? wid wich u colored?? pls reply!
ReplyDeleteI covered it first in the sticky Versamark Ink, sprinkled it with black embossing powder, then heat embossed it. I repeated this process a couple of times to get the desired thickness of black. Hope this helps! =)
