Here's my card for this month's Wish-RAK Card Contest Category #2 - Color Challenge. (Summer Sun, Pacific Point and Real Red)
I started with a Summer Sun card base and this old Sketch Challenge. Forums at Splitcoaststampers The next panel designer paper from SU's Patterns Pack. I trimmed the right edge with some decorative-edged scissors. Panel 3 is Pacific Point cs onto which I added the Happy Father's Day rub-on. I inked up the chipboard star with Craft Summer Sun ink, clear embossed it, added the large eyelet and adhered it to the Pacific Point cs. I then just wrapped a piece of twine around it and glued this piece down to the card.
I received the adorable King for a Day image from leibetty (Thanks, Leigh Anne!), which she stamped with VersaFine Onyx ink onto Whisper White cs. I colored the image with my Summer Sun and Real Red markers and Pacific Point ink pad and Blender Pen. It's difficult to tell in the photo, but after I colored it, I embossed it twice with Glassy Glaze Enamel. Oh, now it looks like a real playing card!
I then cut out a Real Red piece, a Pacific Point piece and a Summer Sun piece and ran them all through my Big Shot with the Stampin' Up! Background I Texturz Plate, fanned them out and adhered to the card with lots of Dimensionals.
I think it makes for a fun Father's Day card. Don't you? TFL - Regina
