I followed the Split Coast Stampers technique for the Northern Lights. I do need to ease up on the dark colors. Check it out.

Once the background was done, I stamped the trees, using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

I then added a sentiment with a bit of Whisper White Craft ink.

Next, I added some twinkle dots with a white gel pen.

I then adhered the panel onto a Daffodil Delight panel, and then onto the Tempting Turquoise card front.

Buttons

 Three is a magical number: 3 buttons, 3 flowers, 3 colors...just because. Don't even get me started with the significance of 3 and religion. Although, in sports, 3 strikes and you are OUT! So, what do you think?

Stamps:

   Doodle This

   And Many More

Paper:

   Bumblebee A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Markers:

   Bumblebee

   Pretty Peacock

   Cherry Cobbler

Technique:

   None

Accessories:

   SU Buttons

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

Like many of my cards, the sentiment can be changed to suit your needs, or it can be left off completely.

The colors can also be changed to coincide with your accessories or your personal taste.

What I most enjoyed about creating this card is that your coloring does not need to be precise. After all, the name of the stamp set is, Doodle This.

Artfully Asian

 These two background stamps layered onto each other created a messy background. Still, the flowers and leaves, once colored, shone through nicely. Don't you think?

Stamps:

   Artfully Asian

   And Many More

   Sanded

   Wonderfully Worn

Paper:

   Cherry Cobbler A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink & Markers:

   Cherry Cobbler

   Garden Green

   Pumpkin Pie

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   None

Accessories:

   Cherry Cobbler Candy Dots

   Adhesive

I was challenged to use two different backgrounds with two different colors layered on each other. So, I began with a Whisper White panel and two backgrounds: Sanded and Wonderfully Worn.

I then chose a stamp set that had images to color. I selected Artfully Asian from my collections and stamped three different images. 

I then colored them and adhered the panel onto the card base.

Best Dad Ever

Father's Day is only two days away. Do NOT forget to let Dad know how much you love him. Here is a classic card for the Best Dad Ever.

Stamps: Guy Greetings, Sheltering Tree, Hardwood, And Many More

Paper: Pool Party A-2, Soft Suede 3 3/4 x 4 1/4, Very Vanilla 3 1/2 x 4 1/4

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzazz

Technique: Sponging

Accessories: Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware, Sponge, Adhesive

I like the image of the classic car next to the tree with a swing. I still remember the times we went out to the park as a family and had a picnic. It would turn into an all day affair with the kids chasing "lightening bugs" to put into jars. The adults were running races and having a wonderful time.

No matter what decade we are living, the constant is to let Dad know how special he is to you. 

Thanks for dropping by here.
