Father's Day Card Number 3

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I had a lovely birthday on Monday I was thoroughly spoilt. We saw a film and had a nice meal. It was a good day.

This is the last Father's Day card for me to make this year. This one is for my husband and I wasn't quite sure what image to use on his card. Then I remembered the Cruise ship die I had bought some time ago.

There are some of  Sue Wilson's dies behind the main image to add a bit of interest.  

Inks and masks were used to create the scene behind the cruise ship which is a Signature die from Joanna Sheen. 

I do love this Father's Day card die. I have used it on all three of my cards this year. I will probably use it again next year it is just ideal. 

The reason for using the cruise ship on  this card is that we have been on some some lovely Cruises and we want to go again sometime. Probably after the wedding. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Nautical themed Father's Day Card

Hi  My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going? We have got to what some refer to as Hump Day so technically we are on the run down to the weekend. Not that I am time off obsessed of course.

I am ever wanting to be ahead with my projects just in case some opportunities come up so I have time to fit them in. You never know.  With this is mind I decided to start on  my Father's Day Cards yesterday. I have had the idea for this card for my Father-in-law since I worked with the nautical dies from Tattered Lace a few weeks ago.

You might know that my Father-in-Law is just over 90 and a naval veteran of the second world war. He also volunteered for many years running a Sea Cadet unit near where he lives. He does love cards with a nautical theme and some texture as he is now partially sighted. 

This is the Tattered Lace Sailing Ship die. This has been one of my favourite dies that I have been sent by Tattered Lace. I can see my self using it a lot in the future. I inked the background and I made the port hole with some Tonic circle dies. I cut a circle of acetate to fit inside the port hole to make it look like glass. 

This is the Tattered Lace Anchor die I like how the rope wraps around the anchor. 

The sentiment was cut with a Signature die. 

I know my Father-in-Law will like this card. He is always very pleased with my cards and phones especially to say thank you. I have two more Father's Day cards to make. I am not so sure what to make for the other cards. I will be looking around for some inspiration. 

I would like to enter Pixie's Snippets Playground - Week 225 , TTCRD 19th April Challenge  and Penny's Challenge 274 . 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting
