Fathers Day

  
I made this recently for my Dad - for fathers day.
I knew what I wanted to do with this (freebie) stamp, as soon as I saw it!
I have stamped the image onto a chalked background:
 I used a cotton wool ball and some dovecraft chalks, which I have had FOREVER! :)
I embossed around the image, onto kraft card, then added a stamped deckchair...
which also came on the freebie stamp set.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges...
Chalk n stock -GDT anything goes  (ends 28th June)  
DL.Art blog - fathers day (ends 26th June)

The stamping chef - for dad (ends 19th June)
Anything challenge - fathers day (ends 17th June)
Creative craft challenge - we love you dad (ends 23rd June)



I made this card in a very similar way -
this was a commission for a friend, for her children to give to their dad.
My friend has just had a baby, so I had to play about and jiggle to size this pram so that
it would fit perfectly with the freebie stamp I had.
I made the sentiment on the computer, as she specifically wanted
the word "Daddy" on there.
This card is also a lot taller and slimmer than the first card I made (above).

I would like to enter this into the following challenges...

    Love this for a male, I really like how it is not over the top and you can see the image. I think the image is a perfect image for a fathers day card and I am sure it will be very much appreciated.

    Stunning, The chalk blending is so soft and subtle and on the Kraft it gives a card that is beautiful. The silhouettes really stand out against the background. Thanks for joining us at ATSM
