Happy Father's Day

Hello friends! Today I've got a card to show you that I made for this month's Papertrey Ink blog hop! This month it is all about celebrating the men in our lives and I thought I'd make a Father's Day card!
I started off with these lovely Graphic 45 papers (I am running out of room for all the G45 I've been buying lately) and thought the A Little Argyle set would make fabulous coordinating paper! I stamped a panel of Vintage Cream with the argyle pattern in coordinating greens, stamped a tag with a sentiment and trim from the Men of Life set and added some giant brads for some extra punch.

I actually really like how this card came out - too bad none of the men in my life golf... :) Thanks for joining me today!

Supplies: Stamps - A Little Argyle, Men of Life (PTI), Card Stock - Vintage Cream (PTI), Old Olive (SU!), Ink - Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Bravo Burgundy (SU!), Tea Dye Duo (PTI), DP - A Proper Gentleman Collection (G45), Foam Squares, Brads (SU!), Cuttlebug, Dies (Spellbinders)

  2. LOL, none of the men in my life (i.e. my husband or my pup) golf either, but I know anyone who does will love this card, and I am sure your male relatives would adore it too, because YOU made it! Thank you for sharing your art with us.

  18. Great job! That's a lot of pattern to combine on one card, but you've made it all work together beautifully.
