back today with another of this year's Father's Day cards. The first one was for my brother, this one is for my Dad.
I finally tried something I've been meaning to try since seeing Tanya do this technique so skillfully - colouring with my PrismaColor pencils on kraft paper. This was the PERFECT image for this technique. The white of the lighthouse shows up so nicely on this paper. I even added some "fog" with my cloud blue pencil.
I know a lot of you out there struggle with masculine cards. Me? No problemo. I actually find them easier than girlie girl cards. My secret - great masculine papers and classic images or just a simple sentiment. It helps that most of the "masculine" colours are more my style.
card details:
- finished size: 5.5 x 5.5 inches
- stamped image and sentiment: Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps "Shining Light", coloured with PrismaColor Pencils (938, 988, 1070, 1076, 1072, 1030, 1023)
- patterned papers: Gartner Studios Bon Voyage Map
- cardstock: CTMH Cocoa, Bamboo, Kraft
- Spellbinders: Petite Circles
- layout: Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #112 (modified to make a square card)
additional challenges for this card:
- Sew Many Challenges #56: Father's Day
- Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #138: A Male Card
- Crazy 4 Challenges #91: Masculine Card
- Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #115: Dads or Grads
- Sentimental Sundays #59: Father's Day or Masculine Card
Anyways, hope you are all having a fabulous day! Thanks for taking time out today to pay me a visit!
See you again later this week!

You rocked it, Sheena!! That lighthouse is colored amazingly!! And, yes, I am in awe of your talent with masculine cards! Have a terrific day!
WOW. This is amazing! Look at how the white pops off the page. Love the map in the background too. The fog was the first thing that caught my eye! This certainly is a classic.
