It’s been too long since I’ve been on here and sharing what I’m creating. Don’t doubt that I’ve been creating . . . because I have been. I’ve just been very lax about showing you anything (whether it is an old creation or a new creation).
Well, it’s time for that to stop! So, let’s dip back into the card vault and show off an old one while I work on getting some new ones ready for “show and tell” time!
Here is one of my all time favorites . . . the Father’s Day card I made for my Dad last year. I used an old state map for my background, and distressed it a bit with Distress Ink in either Antique Linen or Photo Paper (I really can’t remember which one at this point). I matched Route 66 on the front and back so I ended up with a little gap at the top on the front; hence the wood grain paper border.
I water colored the Arizona sunset, ground, and car (Unity Stamp Company’s All Cylinders) using various Distress Inks. And to top it all off, I completely surprised myself by free-hand drawing and then coloring a saguaro cactus that actually turned out pretty good.
Once all the creating was done, I drove about 2 1/2 hours up the mountain in less than ideal visibility to deliver it in person to him. (He’s a campground host during the summer months.) He loved the card and the surprise visit.
How Totally sweet! Love the card, and the smart fox, totally worth it match up the front to the back. Thanks for sharing!!!?
