Beginning with a white cardstock base, I inked the edges and then layered pattern paper from K&Co. Using a sheet of cream cardstock, I began covering it in various shades of Distress Inks. Once that was done, I used a Tim Holtz Thinlits die to cut out the background shape. The butterfly is from a Tim Holtz stamp and die set. I colored it also with Distress Inks. A bit of cheesecloth was tucked under the butterfly. The flowers were made with a die from La-La Land and the edges inked in Tea Dye and accented with Recollections rhinestones. I used glittered stickers from Making Memories to spell out the word "Dad."
Wishing all the Dads and those taking the place of Dads a very happy Father's Day! Today, we are having a turkey dinner with all the trimmings for my Dad and my husband.
Thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind comments. Have a wonderful week ahead!
Beautiful cards!:)
