#TGIFC578: Happy Father's Day

There is an inspiration challenge at TGIF Challenges this week, and the inspiration graphic shows four cupcakes. I was inspired by the four images and some of the colors to create my card. 

 

How did I go from cupcakes to a lake-themed Father's Day card? Well, sometimes the creative process is interesting! 😆 I always try to stick with the product I'm featuring that week when I participate in challenges, and sometimes it's harder than others! 

 

The background behind the cupcakes reminded me a little bit of a watercolor background, so I used Petal Pink and Pecan Pie inks to do a little bit of a watercolor wash behind my images. The images are fussy cut from the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper, and the sentiment is stamped in Peaceful Pine ink on a rectangle punched with the Rounded Rectangle Punch.

 

Here is a full list of products used on my card:

Stamps: Relaxing Waterside

Ink: Peaceful Pine, Petal Pink, Pecan Pie

Paper: Peaceful Pine, Basic White, Watercolor Paper, Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: 2026-2028 In Color Dots

Tools: Water Painters, Rounded Rectangle Punch

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Happy Stamping!
