Morning all. I will admit to being in a bit of a rush with this morning's Cardz4guyz post. I thought I was fairly up to date with my DT cards but this one slipped past me. The theme is 'Father's Day' and, instead of making a card, I was busy doing my Dad proud on the cricket pitch! My love of cricket comes from my Dad and it's something we can share. I wish he'd been there to see me take my first hat trick (it will probably be my only one to be fair) as a bowler on Sunday. Anyway, when I finally got back to the craft room panic set in and I needed a fairly simple and quick card. I found a set of Father's Day stamps that came free in a magazine about a million years ago. It does stamp beautifully so I may use it again. I stamped it in peeled paint distress ink and coloured it in promarkers - going for a sort of ombre effect. Once I'd done that it looked so plain I tried stamping some stars to add some interest. Well, that was a disaster! In the end I found some equally ancient star brads and added them instead. The one thing I can say for being late with a card, it makes you use your stash up instead of buying more.
Here's the result.
It's a little more 'stripped back' than my usual stuff. I'm pretty pleased with it but I keep thinking it's too plain. What do you think?
Please pop over and join in the fun. I would love to see what you come up with.
Thanks for reading.

A super masculine design Dawn, I don't think we need to add lots to a masculine make.

Congrats on your cricket hat-trick Dawn, i also got my love of cricket from my dad and i used to play when younger & the body allowed, i just go and support my brother on the pitch now. Your card is ideal and great to use up some old stash at the same time. Emmax
ReplyDeleteA perfect card for Father’s Day, sometimes less is more.
