Father's Day Watercolor Card

 

Thank you for the idea @ andrea.nelson.art from Tik Tok for the idea of watercoloring fish. I was stumped on what to do this year for Father's day. If Andrea says you can draw and/or paint it I believe her. Now is this a work of art? Maybe not, but it turned out super cute. Hoping the hubby likes it. Get out your watercolor paints and give this a try if you too need something quick for a Father's Day Card.

Father's Day Cards

Guys, I have been on a Father's Day card-making roll.  I have been making quite a few cards for those in my life that need a card including some friends.  Here is what I have gotten done so far.  Hopefully, these will inspire you.

I used a stamp set I received with a stamp magazine. I loved how it turned out. This one is going to the hubby. This is the retiform technique I have seen some trying..I haven't done this in quite a while but still love it when I find the right color combo and stamps.  I used Pacific Point ink from Stampin up and London fog from Momento.  I think this color combo gives this card a cool feel.

 This one for my father in law who lives on a farm. Thought the simple silhouette with the oxide blended background and the rays would be perfect.  I used a combo of Fossilized Amber and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxides for the background.  The rays were created by blending in more fossilized amber using a stencil.

This was all created in Design Space in Cricut. It is a blend of several different images in DS.  The images were cut in black cardstock or gold mirror cardstock.  The Layers I did manually with paper from my stash along with more mirror cardstock.

I offered another co-worker to do a Father's Day card for her husband. She wasn't sure what she wanted. So I asked about his hobbies in which she replied to as fishing and beer. So here is what I came up with with the help of Cricut Design Space. Vinyl for the outside. The inside was drawn by the Cricut.


For the last card, I had a request from a friend for a custom Father's Day card for her son. This is what I came up with thanks to some vinyl and Cricut design space.

 I hope you enjoyed this post.  If you have questions or want to see more from me please check me out on my other social media pages below.

Finally got it.....

So this is the card I am happy with.  I totally scratched the other and started again.  The card base is from a set I picked up at Michael's on clearance from their Recollections line.  I used my Cricuit to cut the green Polk a dot paper from We R's For the Record collection.  I used the George and Basic Shapes and the Elegant Edges for my shapes.  The sentiment is handwritten and not my best handwriting mind you.  The fish stamp is from Judikins.  It is a stamp that has been in my collection for ages.  For the fish I stamped with Staz on Jet Black on to patterned paper in my stash and added some twinkling H2o's to add some sparkle.  I added some brads for interest.  -sigh...  Feeling much better about the Father's Day card Henri will give to my husband now.  Happy Saturday everyone.  Hope you get some time to get your fingers inky today.

A Work in Progress

So I am trying to work on a special Father's Day card. I found inspiration as you can see below....but so far it is not coming together the way I want it to.  The card below I found on Pintrest at google.uk.com.  Anyway, I will keep you updated as I figure out how I want this to look in the end.  Feel free to leave suggestions...
