G’Day Crafty Friends,
This week’s challenge is all about Dad where we’re celebrating Father’s Day!
Digi Choosday runs each Tuesday over on the Digichooseday Blog, so there’s always something new to spark your creativity. I’d absolutely love for you to join in.
Even though we don’t have Father’s Day until September in Oz, in other parts of the world Father’s Day is drawing close. To me, this little gnome jumped out to me for Father’s Day! Don’t you just love the hat? What about that long lovely beard!
In saying that, the digi image could be used for all occasions & all year around. I’ve skipped a sentiment of the card front as I wanted the image to be the “star”!
The papers are from the Gnome Men Dad/Father Digi Papers. I’ve printed 2 of the pieces prior to chopping them down to size & layering each onto a piece of Blue Cardstock.
The Dad Father Celebration Party Gnome for Men digi has been printed onto Express-It Cardstock prior to being coloured with Copics.
I fussy cut a couple of stars from the same digi papers to create my own embellishment. The beer mugs at the bottom of his feet have been printed once again, coloured with Copics prior to being fussy cut & arranged & adhered to the card front.
I was going to colour the image with earthy colours but I wanted it to bright & happy. The colours were taken from the colours in the papers I’ve used. Don’t forget to use your pattern papers to help you with your card making & selecting colours.
Easy card, easy layout! Cards for the male don’t have to be fussy!
