Hello again, my friend Friday

Friday again!  Oh God!  This was a "short week" for me at work because I took Monday off. However, it has been very intense.  So, Friday, again, means special.  

Hope your Father's Day weekend is full of surprises, good moments and love. 

Today I will share two simple projects. First one is a non traditional Father's Day card for a groovy cool father. I know exactly who he is but won't tell...in case he reads this before he receives the card. 

The cool thing about this card is that I made it inspired by scrap paper I was going to throw away. I used the negative of a shape I cut too many times the other day and then I filled with patterned paper and placed over a stamped background. 

The other project is a tag I made to include with a gift. I wanted to achieve imperfect coloring using watercolor pencils. 

I first stamped the image and then colored the background around. Then colored using a water pencil and touching the tip of the watercolor pencil to catch the color. 

I then colored with yellow around the girl and stamped the sentiment next to her. 

Tks for stopping by. I will link this post to Unity Stamp Co blog for the Friday's Friends with Flair, so leaving a comment gives you the opportunity to win great prizes. 

Curtain Call - Inspiration Challenge

Hello friends.

I heard Unity Stamp Co is sponsoring the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge... so I had a little time today to play and support it.

The challenge is about making a project inspired in a photo/image.  Here's the photo:

When I saw it I thought "white", gray, wood, clear and see thru... and CAS style.   And I really had lots of ideas in my mind but I went with this one... check it out.

I stamped Unity's hexagons in vellum using pigment ink... Yes... pigment... but then applied clear embossing powder and heated...  Loved the effect.  Did the same with the sentiment.

At first I was going to place the vellum directly in the white base of the card but then I took another look to the inspiration image and I felt some gray...  So I joined a gray cardstock to the vellum with some eyelets and then placed with 3D adhesive to the white card.

Kind of imperfect... just the way I like it.

But then I felt I needed to make another project... It had to be quick 'cause I've got to go to do some other chores... LOL...  So this is a mini card using a wood background stamp with silver ink, and then a sentiment in black (both stamps from Unity).  

Tks for your visit...  You can also follow me in facebook. Look for me as Scrapper Myra.

One thing leads to another...

You know what I'm thinking?  I had a great weekend. 

Great celebrations Friday and Saturday for my hubby's bday, a great family day yesterday...and, today is Memorial Day...  

Many things come to my mind. First of all, I think of those soldiers that definitely deserve our respect. I immediately think my father. He was a soldier at Corea many years ago.  My father died when I was 10 and it is one of those things you remember everyday at some point.

Then I naturally think of Father's Day coming up soon.  So I made this card.  Have you started making Father's Day cards or projects yet?

I used Unity Stamp Co stamps, Teresa Collins paper, bakers twine, cork, and eyelets. 

Now I feel I am not in the mood on continuing with more scrapbooking. I just remembered I have to go to work tomorrow.  :(
