Vintage Father's Day Card

I've made this card with the current Fusion #13 sketch challenge. This card started off with the intention of being a birthday card for a female. When I decided to use the Kaisercraft Vintage Timeless and Recollectables, it took off in its own direction and became a Father's Day card (Our Father's Day in Australia is in September) instead! It had a mind of its own!! I used elements in the Recollectables diecuts to create the framework of the sketch. It was a very easy card to make and although I did not time it, it probably took about 10 to 15 minutes to make. I've also used the colours from the current Play Date Cafe challenge. Here is my card, thanks for dropping by! A big HELLO to my new followers on my Facebook fanpage!

Ingredients:

Cardstock - Neenah Desert Storm

Paper - Kaisercraft Vintage Timeless 6.5x6.5

Stamp - Hero Arts CL498 Celebrate Everyday, CL414 Greetings

Ink - Ranger Archival Jet Black, Tim Holtz Distress Gathered Twigs

Others - Kaisercraft Recollectables Timeless Icons

A Masculine 21st Album

A bit of exciting news! One of my submissions for PC Supply Savvy was accepted for publication! Yay! This will be my second card in Paper Crafts magazine!
Some of my blog followers will remember that I did a 21st album for signing for my niece last year - blogged here. Well her boyfriend had just turned 21 this month and I was asked to do another album. As it was a surprise birthday party, I could not blog it until afterwards... just in case. I decided to use the Kaisercraft 21st album and combined it with papers from Kaisercraft. It took me a few days to get the cover finished as I was playing with techniques and media I don't use often. The cover was painted with two coats of Kaisercraft Mud Puddle paint followed by Tim Holtz Distress crackle in Antique Linen. This cracked very well showing up the brown underneath. I thought this looked too pale (this was the only colour crackle paint I had). I then dabbed Viva Special Metal bronze and silver paints over the top to achieve a final result that I was happy with. I'm submitting this project to Die-Cut Divas' Washi and Birthday challenge. Thanks for dropping by!

Here are some photos from Nick's party with my niece and one with my Mum and all the Grandkids.
