So, are you ready for my creations...yep, I made two as I could not decide what to do...I made one with stars and one with stripes.



Dad

Recipe:


Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, SU Buckaroo Blue, SU So Safron, DP from stash, dark blue, burgundy and hunter green cs from my stash for the stars

Stamps: ODBD Dad

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Tea Dye, VersaFine OnyxBlack

Accessories: Nesties Large Deckled Rectangles, Stars cut with my Cricut Expression and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, Tim Holtz Distressing Tool

To give the DP a little more interest I crumbled it up straightened it out and rubbed the TH Distressing Ink in Tea Dye over it. It was still too wrinkled so I ironed it from the back side just a little and achieved the look I was going for. The stars are cut with my Cricut Expression in 2 different sizes and distressed a little on the edges. The word dad is also stamped on a star cut just bog enough to fit the entire word (to be honest I first had it on a rectangle strip, but changed my mind as I went to use a star...I think it works better ;D. What do you think?

All right on to number 2...this one is a bit more feminine

Do not be anxious

Recipe:
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, SU Certainly Celery, rust colored cs from my stash and also from my stash this striped DP (I bought this years ago from Joann.com it was in one of those file folder kind of thingies with all kinds of different papers in it.
