How fitting for a dad to wear a crown at least for a day...:0). I saw these pretty gift tags here from the artful whimsy site...http://www.artfulwhimsy.com/item_178...n-....tags.htm .. I wanted to show how royal and special he is but also thought I would make it vintage looking. I want to be like them little ones playing like that together again...:0). Love how these 2 papers went so well together.
I did the tri card base in black, cut out the papers to fit the spots, they have a great tutorial in the resource file. Not sure how to link it, but its under tri-shutter card. then I sponged the lighter papers with a deep brown in the edges to soften it up.
I was going to put a nice poem in the front but all the ones I liked were too big, so I filled it with love and put happy fathers day in the centers instead, and wrote a sweet note with it.
I was going to stop there but then added a c ouple vintage stamps on a coupl corners and then (as usual never know when to stop sometimes...lol) the other corners looked bare then so I cut tiny little triangles and glued them to the corners.
If you havent make one of these before it is so fun....give it a try, especially nice for fancier papers. thanks for visiting. Hey for those of you who know me..lol...I still got the glitter on, but didnt even have to add it, the crowns already golden...how fun is that..lol
