Supplies: Paper - DCWV patterned; Paper Studio kraft A2 card
Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set
Stamps - Hero Arts Past Times (retired)
Stamps with coordinating dies - Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy (dies HERE)
Other - Memento Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa inks; Park Lane star gem
I used some vintage papers and stamps - really liked how this turned out. The card appeared washed out in my original photo so I tried to warm up the tones via editing; loads of kraft & ivory in real life. I stamped & fussy cut the hand and the balloon. The HAPPY from Lawn Fawn is stamped & die cut with extra die cuts behind for dimension.
Here's a photo of Dad in his usual spot in the kitchen, holding a cup of coffee!! We kids got the cup for him years ago & he uses it often. Of all things, he loves to add french vanilla cappuccino from Kwik Trip - ugh!! Give me Starbucks any day over that stuff!
That's it for today, friends - thanks for stopping & have a beautiful day!
