Finish the Inside Recipe

I rarely finish the inside of a card.  I'm not really sure why because I love it when I see the inside with just that little touch of color and a nice sentiment.  I tell people who buy my cards I don't finish the inside because that leaves room for them to write a special note to the recipient of the card.  It's funny when they open a card I've made and see something on the inside and they look at me and smile.  I always - yep - I know - there is something on the inside.  :-). So I enjoyed this challenge and that red heart was the perfect touch of color.  The outside is one of my favorite color combinations - red, black and white.  The camera was already colored so I just added the sentiment (he he - it made me laugh).

Cards 4 Dads Card Recipe

This card 4 Dads was inspired by a card we made during Taylored Expressions Stamp Joy.  We made a birthday card using the repeating happy and I applied that technique to this Father's Day card.  I used 2 different colors of brown ink from Hero Arts and a stamp from Lawn Fawn for the Father's Day sentiment.  I put the kraft card stock in my MISTI and carefully lined up the HAPPY as I stamped it.  I moved the card stock instead of the stampThe wood grain background card stock is from Hobby Lobby and the wood dots are from my stash.  As I've said before I struggle with masculine cards, but I was very pleased with how this one turned out.  

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Consider entering our challenge and donating your hand made cards to our great charity.
