Father’s Day Card

Good morning! Ardyth here with a sweet Father’s Day card using the Animal Signs, Father’s Day, Elephant Friends and Congrats Grad stamp sets.

I started by die cutting the stitched rectangle from the Stitched Notes die set – this meant that I knew exactly how much space I had for my adorable critters!

I stamped the elephant first, slightly off-centre. I knew I wanted the fox to the right, facing the elephant, and his sign is longer, so I needed a bit more space on that side for him.

Next, I cut a mask for the elephant before stamping the koala on the left and the fox on the right. This gives just a little bit of overlap and makes them look like they are one larger image. I made sure that all their feet were lined up, so that they are ‘standing’ on the same level. 

I stamped the sentiments from Animal Signs, Father’s Day and Elephant Friends into the signs and then coloured the animals with Copic markers, using minimal shading.

To create the sentiment, I used sharp scissors to perform ‘stamp surgery’ on the Happy Father’s Day sentiment from Father’s Day . If this is not your thing, you can carefully mask it and stamp it 3 separate times – make sure you clean it completely each time so you don’t get any ghosting!

To add a bit of colour, I blended light blue ink over the top half of the card, fading out towards the animals, so I didn’t have to do any more masking!

To finish the card, I created an oyster-gray card base and stamped the confetti from Congrats Grad all around the edge to create a little texture and interest around my scene.

The Animal Signs set is great for so many occasions! Since the sign spaces are open, you can really customize it for the recipient.

I hope you were inspired by this card. Thanks for stopping by!
