Day 159: Tractor Card

For Father's Day, I made this tractor card for my husband's grandfather, who was a farmer.  Card stock is from Stampin' Up! The tractor stamp is by Hero Arts.  I stamped the tractor with Memento ink and colored it in with Copic markers.  I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the tire track effect on the brown card stock. I had some tractor brads and a green hinge and brads (all from Oriental Trading Company) which I used to accent the main image.  I sponged ink over the tractor image and the card background.

Day 155: Selecting Stamps for Father's Day Cards

Tonight I enlisted my husband's help in choosing stamps to make Father's Day cards for all the men in his family: his Dad, his stepfather, his grandfather, one of his brothers (we need to marry the other one off!), and two brothers-in-law.  He picked a nice variety of stamps:  military for his Dad; dog for his stepfather; a tractor and a vintage car for his grandpa (not quite sure how I will design that one yet?!); a lighthouse for his brother; animals and a pocket knife for one of his brothers- in law, and a father and son stamp for the other brother-in-law. So, I guess I know what I will be doing tomorrow....making Father's Day cards.
