So below is the picture inspiration, courtesy of Martha Stewart:
And here is my Father's Day card:
The main image is by Wild Rose Studio called Time for a Pint, and this relaxed chap is coloured using Promarkers and paper pieced with Wild Rose Studios For Men paper stack.
He has been cut out with a Go-Kreate Die, Frilly Frames no 4, and mounted onto some gingham from the paper stack and some metallic blue bazzill.
I was slightly flummoxed as to how to incorporate the beautiful ribbons from the Ribbon Reel into this card, as it's for a man, but after looking at the sketch from this week's Sketch Saturday I had a few ideas!
In the end I plumped for using two different types of ribbon in a cascade effect, and it really looks pretty (but not too girly!). The ribbons used are Mesh Two Tone (light blue/blue) and navy Swiss dot Grosgrain. I cut lots of short strips, snipped the ends and attached them to a piece of white card and lots of glue dots!
I wanted to make a rosette with the little printed out label No 1 Dad, from The Cutting Cafe, so cut some more strips and snipped the ends and adhered to the back.
Finally added some pewter screw style brads and a little glossy accents to the beer mug.
I can't wait to see what you make of my colour choice this week over at The Ribbon Reel!
