Father's Day

I think that it's so hard making manly cards. I really wanted to do a special card for my dad for Father's Day, but I knew he wouldn't be impressed by frou-frou stuff or a lot of embellishments. I thought to myself the less I put on it, the better I'd be.

But I did want to do something special. So...how to do a special card, but keep it clean and not "out there"?

This is what I came up with. Hope those of you who stop by like it:




It's pretty basic really. A base card (SU!), a layer of cardstock (SU!), Designer Paper (Karen Foster Design), ribbon (SU!), specialty paper in both vellum cardstock & "leather" (Paper Temptress) and some stick-on bubble letter squares (Creative Imaginations). (And, yes, there's a sentiment stamped inside). Oh, and brads (Making Memories). Can't forget those and I used my Nesties to cute & emboss.

There's really not much to it, but I think Dad will approve.

I hope that he knows how much he means to me. He sure has made his mark on me over the years and it's always his approval that I strive for. He's my hero and my mentor. Happy Father's Day, Dad.
