Father's Day

Last week I made a card for my Father-in-law for Father's Day.  Since he lives in New Hampshire I had to make it ahead so he could get it in time.  I just hope he did!  Here is a picture of the card I made him:

                                     

This stamp set is done from Stampin Up Country Livin' stamp set.  I LOVE to watercolor so this is the perfect stamp set for me as there is many ways to make this yours!  While my father-in-law might not have had a truck like this, I am sure that he had seen a few in his life time.

So then yesterday I was in my craft room trying to figure out what to do for my husband, then it hit me, use the same stamp set but a different stamp!  So this is what I came up with:

This just reminds me of the pair of boots that he got over 23 years ago for his sister's wedding!  And yes, he still has them today and wears them when he needs to dress up a bit in the winter time!  

For this stamp I also water colored it with brown.  Then it looked a bit plain still so I cut out two circles and masked my paper and colored in around the mask.  I used two colors of yellow, So Saffron and Crushed Curry.  Then I added the Happy Father's Day on there.  That could have been tricky as I might have miss stamped, but if I did, I would have stamped it on another piece of paper and then taped it over as if I had wanted to make it that way!  After that, I cut it down and found some old DSP (Designer Series Paper) to put behind it and then the Dapper Denim for the card.  I do hope that he likes it!

That is it for now.  If you see something that you like and need more information, please just ask!
