MMM - Father's Day card

By
This week at Make My Monday the challenge is to create a Father's Day card - this one is for my dad take a look


I masked off the sides of the card and sponged the centre with More Mustard and Cherry Cobbler S'U inks - I then stamped some of the images from the French Foliage set and removed the masks.
I inked the sides of the card and added more stamped images. The border is card stock edged with the scallop punch and I have then cut out some stamped leaves and popped them up with 3D foam pads.
My sentiment is from a papermania set and is also attached with foam pads.
There are some gorgeous cards this week from my design team so I do hope you can pop over and take a look.

We are contemplating a trip to the coast at the moment - unfortunately not for pleasure. My daughter discovered over the weekend that her new student residence was flooded out in Aberystwyth - luckily she was home safe but I feel a clean up operation is on the cards!
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    An absolute stunner Jacqueline and love the shabby inky effects on here.
    Sorry to hear about your daughter's accommodation and hope it gets sorted out without too much hassle.
    Luckily for my nephew he came home the Jubilee weekend so has missed it all.
    Hugs, Fliss xx

    When I saw this on the DT blog, all I could do was gasp in delight! This is GORGEOUS--if that is an appropriate term for a masculine card. ;) LOVE the colors you used--this is amazing!!! :)

    I love this take on French Foliage... one of my favourite stamp sets ever! The colours are stunning!
    So sorry to hear about your daughter's place. Hope the flooding isn't too bad and that damage is easily rectified. It was awful seeing all the flooding on the news recently.

    What a gorgeous card - it almost looks like a shadow box, it's so dimensional! So sorry to hear about your daughter's flooding problem. Vicky x

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
