My Dads Birthday Card

I wanted to show you how easy it is to personalize the Quick ‘n Easy Cards I showed you the other day.  My dad is an avid Golfer, so for the front I decided to use my favorite tree image from Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set.    Dads BDay 10 (2) I used Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery as my color choices for his card, Dads favorite color is blue.  I mean he really likes blue.  He gave my Mom a blue coat for Christmas one year, she hates blue.  She never wore it, so a few years down the road, he decided to re-wrapped it for her at Christmas that year...  oh my, she swore he bought her another blue coat.  The look she gave him... whew.  It said alot.  *smile*  It was so funny and they will never live that down.  Okay, back to the card...

I colored on the rubber using SU Markers in Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Certainly Celery and Old Olive, giving the stamp a big huff of hot air and walla... there’s the image.  I did go back and touch up some of the branches within the leaves with Chocolate Chip using the fine end of the marker.

I centered the Vintage Brads on the front of the card, using SU’s Mat Pack #105826.Dads BDay 10 I covered the backs of the brads using more Bashful Blue DSP on the inside and added my images.  My golfer is matted and adhered using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The inside silver dots are just adhesive backed gems.  The Sentiment on top is stamped while the other is created using my Word program and the SU RGB codes.  If you’d like the RGB Codes for the SU Colors, they are located in my Sidebar.  I depend so much on those codes.   Here’s my supplies...
