Forever Forest Father's Day!

Yes, Father's Day has passed.  I apologize that I am just now sharing this card!  However this is a great card, in my opinion, to use any time of year!  😃  Just switch the greeting!  So without further ado ... here is the card I made for my Dad for Father's Day! 

Colors Pecan Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic White, Basic Black
Inks: Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie, VersaMark
Cardstock/Papers: Pecan Pie, Basic White, Basic Black, Country Woods Designer Series Paper 
Stamps: Forever Forest
Tools:  Nested Essentials Dies, Basics Embossing Folder, Bone Folder (curl edges of cardstock), Water Painter (for splatter)
Accessories: Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins

He love mountains, trees, nature, etc ... so I thought the Forever Forest Stamp Set was perfect!  


There is a bit of color variation on the trees, if you can tell, and this is how I did that: 

🌲  Ink up tree stamp in Lemon Lime Twist. Lay the stamp block down, with the stamp facing UP onto stamping surface.

🌲  Ink a Sponge Dauber in Granny Apple Green ink.  Pounce onto a few random places on the stamp.

🌲  Stamp onto cardstock where desired.  Repeat for more stamps, creating your background! 

🌲  Add splatter using Pecan Pie ink & Water Painter - after the green ink has dried. Just squeeze ink pad together, before opening, creating a little "pool" of ink in the lid.  Squeeze a little water into the brush, pick up some ink, and flick brush in the lid over the project, creating splatter.

🌲  For more texture - after ink has dried - run it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with desired embossing folder! 

I love how there is so much texture created, without a lot of extra layers.  Extra layers are great also ... so feel free to do that if that is wanted!  This is just another option.  😁


I just finished the card by distressing the edges, and curling a few with my bone folder.  Then tied some twine around, added the greeting & some sequins, and added a layer of fun woodgrain paper behind the main card front panel.  

What is your fave detail?!
