I am entering into the Hero Arts monthly contest another Father's Day card, but this time it is for my dad.
There is a fun little message snuck into the coffee cup... I played with re-sizing again. To create the coffee cup I had to stamp it and photo copy and re-size. I went looking for a coffee cup stamp and didn't have any and had to make do with the one I had in the Hero Arts Father's Day set. When you pull up the steam you can see the message inside.
I had to laugh because I showed my husband he said "But will he know to pull up the message?". Husbands are so practical. :)
All the stamps are Hero arts. The inks are Hero Arts Shadow Ink -Soft Sand, Ranger Distress Inks, Stormy Sky, Memento Rich Cocoa, Versafine Black Onyx, Versafine Smokey Grey, and StaZon Azure.
The tools and lines on the coffee cup were colored with my watercolor pencils.
So sorry I haven't been visiting my blogging buddies or producing any cards. I have had some things happening at home and I did get to go to the Zindorf class which was wonderful. So I have had a little crafting time.
Have a blessed Sunday.
