I cannot believe that Father’s Day is Sunday! Yesterday it was a month away. Or at least it seems that way. Since I do not generally post on the weekends, I made a quick Father’s Day, or just for any occasion, card. I used the new Count On Me stamp set. It is adorable and it called to me for this card.
Quick and Easy is Great
I went with a more plain card to showcase only the adorable Black Bear. I am from East Tennessee originally and I love my Smoky Mountain Black Bears! Of course he could be any color of bear to match your favorite.
The layout and colors were all about the bear. I went with Crumb Cake card base for a more natural look. It is paired with Basic Black, for the bear, and Real Red, for the heart. There was much debate on adding some tone on tone stamping on the red layer I do have to say. In the end I felt like clean was the way to go.
Stamps
The bear and grass are from the Count On Me stamp set. The bear is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with the Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend. After it dried for a minute, I went back and added some shading using the same color. It added just a touch of darker color. The bits of grass are also from the same set and are stamped using Mossy Meadow Ink.
The sweet sentiment is from the Hats Off stamp set. I love the font and the wording. This would work for any occasion really. Looking at my card, it would work for any occasion as well.
It is shocking to me, but this is two cards in a row with minimal products used! Wow!! I hope you all have an enjoyable weekend and are able to share some happiness!
