On to my creation! I decided for the guy in my life to keep it simple and bold at the same time so... I started with a pad of fun decorative paper and this is what I came up with!
I grabbed my Memento Nautical Blue Ink Pad and found that it was pretty much a perfect match to the Teresa Collins Designs Now and Then Paper pack. I stamped the father and son playing football from the Father's Day stamp set using this ink on one of the paper pack's wood grain designs. Love that! Then, I used Spellbinders Classic Circles LG, cut, embossed and sanded. After that, I matted it onto the Blossom die cut shape. From there, I used Spellbinders Lacey Nested Pennants to create the little flags at the bottom of my main image. Add some twine and a sentiment from the set and.... ta da! I matted it all on a piece of Flourishes Classic Ivory card stock for my card base and... all done - an easy, peasy card just in time for Father's Day!
Here's a close up!

Love this card! Great design! Julie, I'm a little behind, but I saw your focus on the Flourishes blog and just had to come and say how much I enjoyed it. I've always thought you were the most awesome designer and kind of a wonder woman. I had a great time with you at CHA which seems so long ago now. Miss all of you at Flourishes!

GOAL! Oh, yah! That's soccer. Card scores like 'em points all around the net of readers / receivers. Nautical blue highlighted so many aspects of this work. You go, girl!

Wonderful masculine card Julie! Love this image you chose! Totally lovin' all the masculine prints you chose to use - they work perfectly together! Awesome card!
I'm totally fascinated by this card. The image is striking but the layout is deceptive and looks first like a card and then like a flag.
