Another Fathers Day card I made this year. This one was for my husband. I made it on a yellow blank card. For the background I used white card stock. I found an image of the tools on Google, and used it in my Silhouette program. I slightly etched the paper, then used the Silhouette pens to draw over the etch. Looks awesome in person, photo not so much. The two papers on top of that were some that I got at Michaels. The tools design on the front I also found on Google. I printed it up, and colored it using gel pens, the silver color sparkles!!! After that I hand cut it out (razor blade....lots of fun...o.k. not really, but it came out cute!) After the tools were colored and cut, I used gloss Modge Podge and painted over the whole tools image, and let it dry. I used some foam tape to attach the tools. For the wording I again used my Silhouette (LOVE MY SILHOUETTE!!!) I used red vinyl. I wasn't so sure about this card, but my husband ended up loving it.
This card was made for a young man that I've never actually met. The young mans diagnosis is not a good one. He made a request to the public in our state, to receive birthday cards, LOTS of them for his birthday next month. Being that I don't actually know the young man, I just kinda had to guess what he would like. I figured motorcycles?? Doesn't all young men like motorcycles? I found the image on Google, printed it out on white cardstock. Cut it to size, and cut a piece of black card stock a little bit larger to put behind it. I attached it with foam tape. I colored it with Metallic Gel Pens. The Happy Birthday Sentiment is from a stamp. I stamped the saying then heat embossed it with white embossing powder, onto black cardstock. I cut it out using a pair of difficult to use scissors. I have no idea what they are called? They came in a bag, with about a dozen different ones, all of which are difficult to cut with. I have had them for probably about ten years thou...
