Happy Father's Day Box Card

Good morning everyone!! It is only Tuesday and it has been one heck of a week so far LOL!!!  I keep telling myself if can only get better, it can only get better, it can only get better! HAHA!  And the Lord only gives me what I can handle! So I can persist, carry on and do my best :) And that is all I can do!

So, here is a card I finished up this weekend:









For this card I've used All Tied Up from QKR Stampede. He is colored with Copic Markers and layered a bit. All of the cuts are done using the Silhouette Cameo. I've used black and brown card stock and a bit of striped patterned paper scraps for those stars. Even the Happy Father's Day is a bit tan, although it looks white on here. I've inked all of the papers too with black ink. I've added some brown glitter to the Father's insert. I love how the back of the card is decorated and cut to allow for writing. I thought that was just perfect! And that is it... simple card, but a box card. Thanks for looking!

Copic Markers Used:

• Bear: E31, E35, E37, E39
• Checkered Tie: Y00, Y11, Y15
• Light Blue Tie: B0000, B000, B00, B02
• Dark Blue Tie: B26, B29, B39
• Striped Tie: R24, R29, R46
• Vest: BG93, BG96, BG99

SLSLines March Challenge

Good morning everyone!

Today we are on Challenge #7 at SLSLines Digistamps and for this challenge we are on an Anything Goes!  You have to love that! I am using the image Owl With Hat and Tie which you can find in the SLSLines Shop!







This card was cut with my Cameo. The cut around the owl is a Spellbinders die. All of the papers are from my scrap boxes. I colored this one with my Prismacolor Pencils and I did layer him just a little bit. I added the ties on the outside and inside. I've had these for a while. They were leftovers from a card a long time ago. I believe they are colored with Copic Markers.  I stamped the Happy Father's Day... I thought this image was perfect for a Father's Day card. I added the different gems down the side.  I did a little bit of paper tearing on this card, but it ended up hard to see on the front.

World's Greatest Dad At Meljen's Designs

Good morning everyone. Thursday just couldn't have come any quicker.. wait! It took FOREVER to get here LOL But its here and I'm so happy! I have been pretty busy at work this week. I'm really glad it is almost the weekend. I have been so tired this week. I have been going to bed early and I haven't been sleeping well. I guess that is why I'm so tired LOL! This weekend is Father's Day.. I still have no idea what I'm doing! The kids have done a great job the past couple of weeks.. wait.. okay.. they have done a realy good job this week on their chores. I only ask them to do a few things each week. I had to threaten to take phones, but with that they straighted up and got done what needed to be done. They really have no idea what it takes to earn money and they feel like they should have whatever! I think it is the generation, but boy do they drive me nuts!! Don't get me wrong.. I love my kids LOL But man they can be selfish! Okay.. on to the real reason you are here hehehehe

Today is a new challenge at Meljen's Designs and for Challenge #164 we have World's Greatest Dad! Here is my card:

I used Just Like Dad from Meljen's Designs. Awesome image isn't it? The ties I found as a freebie online. I colored the images with Copic. The papers were all scraps.. and let me tell you.. I have WAY too many scraps LOL I need to keep using them! I distressed the edges of the papers. I stamped Happy Father's Day with a Hero Arts Stamp.

Copic:
Black - C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9
Blue - B21, B24, B26
Maroon - R56, R59, Y11, Y15, Y17, Y18
Skin - E000, E00, E01, E11, R20, R22
