Salute and a good Friday morning, my friends! We have a new challenge starting over at QKR Stampede today and our theme is always Anything Goes. It's definitely summer weather around here and I'm getting Father's Day cards done for the three dads in my family (son, SIL, and grandson.) Anything related to fishing always reminds me of my own dad so I used "Gone Fishing 12601" from QKR for this card.
He always said that any summer vacation had to include a place to fish and he liked it even better if the entire vacation was planned around every day spent fishing. :-D
I started with a simple A2 card design. I love A2 and it's probably my favorite card shape and size because I mail so many of my cards and that's a standard size accepted by the post office with no additional postage. This one will be in the mail to my son.
I colored with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils, then cut the octagon shape with a die from QuicKutz. I added a blue, CS, mat behind the image.
The card front is embossed, though that doesn't show very well in the photo. I added the image piece and then wrapped baker's twine around it. I printed and hand cut the sentiment, matted it, and then adhered it at the top of the card. A CAS design, perfect for a masculine Father's Day card.
