It's time to get your man-card supplies out because the challenge this week at colourQ is perfect for that hard-to-make card! Since June is right around the corner, I took the opportunity to make a card for Father's Day.
I followed the Deconstructed Sketch for my layout and used the fab new stamps from Verve called Strong Anchor. After making this card I've decided that I need a 2-inch circle punch because as much as I love my dies it's so much easier to stamp your image and align the punch around it then to cut your circle and use a stamp positioner to line your image up with the shape. (As you can see by the slightly off-center rope circle).
I've been watching the news about the devastation in Oklahoma after the tornado on Monday and it feels a little strange to be posting a happy-go-lucky card when so many people are experiencing loss on a devastating scale. Maybe a little normalcy will be good for people who need it, I don't know. But please know that I'm thinking and praying for everyone there.
Supplies:
Stamps: Strong Anchor (Verve)
Paper: Neenah Solar White; Midnight Muse, Really Rust, More Mustard, Whisper White (SU)
Accessories: Polka Dots embossing folder (Lifestyle Crafts); washi tape; copper eyelets

Awesome Father's Day card. Love the reverse dot background, and how you've made these colors pop. The pierced flags are so cool! Love this. Bev
Love how you used the colours adn the debossed side of the EF. Way to flash the Verve too :)
