At Creative Inspirations cinspirations this week's challenge is HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
Create something to celebrate the fact it is Father's Day in the UK soon, whether it is a card for this occasion or just a male themed creation!
This week's prize is from CRIMSON CLOUD which is
3 DIE CUT PACKS OF THE WINNERS CHOICE!
Here's what I did:
I created the card after looking at all the talented peoples work in the latest Sheena Douglass Inkoid DT call on facebook here. One lady Jassy (here) had done the majestic oak like this and I just had to have a go myself - I think it looks wonderful and it was so easy to do. All I did was tape a piece of black and a piece of white card together using low tack tape then stamp on the other side with versamark, then I pulled the papers apart and added black embossing powder to the white piece and white to the black - and heat set. I think its fabulous and want to thank Jassy so very much for the inspiration xxx
The dies that are used are grand dies from spellbinders.
