GIU 6/22

Last weekend was Father's Day and I needed to make cards for my dad and my father in law.  They enjoy different hobbies, so personalized cards were in order.  

My dad has been an avid golfer for most of my life, so I grabbed some argyle-inspired pattered paper to play on the theme and stamped out the cute golf cart from FORE!!!  I went with a slimline style card so I had more area to show off the patterned paper.  To jazz up the blue cardstock layer, I stamped with one of my most-used Unity backgrounds, Love Life As Is.  It gives a subtle nod to the texture of a golf ball on this card, but it is very versatile!

I grabbed the same Cuttlebug "Harmony" die cut letters to make a card for my father-in-law, who loves bird watching.  I'm not sure if he picked up on what I tried to do with this card, but I took the cute image from the July 2017 Kit of the Month and used my Micron pen to make it look more like a cardinal by adjusting the feathers on the head.  Then I colored the birds to be the color of a male cardinal and a baby cardinal.  The background is an original Brutus Monroe and Unity collaboration, barn wall.
