Happy Fathers Day, Hubby!

Hello!

Fathers Day here in Australia is this coming Sunday. As usual, I have been fluffing around trying to work out what card I would give to my hubby. Masculine cards and I aren't the best of friends. I don't know why, but all the great "man" ideas I come up with seem to NOT translate to paper from my head.  The sentiment I want to convey to my husband on Fathers Day is that I am thrilled to have him  as my partner in this parenting business, and how much I love him.  He isn't a fluffy-card type man. And as I've said before, he rarely gets excited about my cards. I've made about four cards so far. This one might be the one, but I still have a couple more days to go. . .

I decided to use the joint Clean & Simple and ColourQ challenge this week:

I was looking for a masculine colour scheme, and I liked this one:

The card I came up with was:

This card was so, so difficult to photograph and edit! The contrast of light and dark, the clear embossing, all conspired against me, LOL.  I clear embossed the definitions to give the card some texture and interest, and to get those sentiments that I was trying to convey across. The sentiment definitions I used: Delight, Happy, XOXO.

I used (all SU!):
Stamps: Artistic Etchings, Life Definitions
Ink: Crumb Cake, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy
Card: Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Sahara Sand

So what do you think?
