Trying to get a jump start on my weekend crafting needs! This Sunday is Father’s Day! I used the very creative sketch from Create with Connie and Mary this week. It really is a great one!
I went with a fairly monochromatic colour scheme on this one (I think this lends itself nicely to a masculine theme). The base is Sahara Sand and I’ve layered it with Early Espresso and then some Sahara Sand designer paper.
For the side piece, I actually made a scallop envelope out of Early Espresso designer paper and adhered it on it’s side. Then I made a small tag on which I stamped the Father’s Day sentiment from All Holidays. I stamped it three different times in coordinating colours and then cut out the pieces and affixed them with dimensionals.
I stamped the large tree from Lovely as a Tree in Jet Black StazOn and then watercoloured with various shades of green (Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Always Artichoke).
For a little extra pop of colour, I added a strip of stapled 5/8″ Old Olive grosgrain.
Now it’s your turn! Head on over to Create with Connie and Mary and play along with us!

I love how you look at the sketch and then interpret it as only you can – that’s the Carrie Component
Wonderful Father’s Day card – love how you used an envelope.

Magnifique! Love the tag coming out of the envelope and how you used this sentiment set. It’s a big block, so it is not always easy to add to a card.
Nicely done!

I always enjoy seeing your interpretation of a sketch and love how you’ve done the envelope here instead of the top note!! Just the perfect “Carrie touch”! Fabulous job on the sentiment and the tree and I adore the stapled ribbon! Perfectly un-fussy for a masculine card. Honored to be stamping alongside of you!! ((hugs))
