Fathers Day around the corner

Well it's been a busy few days with father's day around the corner. Men's cards are not my favourite to produce at all and I have had orders for a few one off's this time around. Luckily topics were provided otherwise I would be seriously stumped for ideas. After the father's day rush I have some more commissioned orders for Anniversary and Husband birthday's.


I think the challenge is getting the right balance with embellishments. I also find that a lot of back papers and extras are very female orientated which makes them difficult to adapt.

The car card was commissioned for an MG fan so with a search I managed to find a line drawing of an old MG car which I then matted and used my lovelly corner punch to found off. The tag buckle was then inked around the edge to age it a little as was the large matting which is raised off of the surface of the card.

The music card is for a musican dad I was able to see his set list on it there was various dire straits songs. Luckily in my musical collection I have the sheet music to brothers in arms so scanned that in and replicated it over and over again to form my own backing paper which I was then able to use a little chalk ink to distress. Using peel offs of a guitar I then did a small mounted embellishment and finished with the wording.
