Mary is our hostess for this weekÂ’s color challenge - Dapper Denim, Tangerine Tango, Sahara Sand and for dessert, a fourth color - Soft Suede.
These colors spoke to me as masculine and with FatherÂ’s Day coming up this Sunday, these fit the bill!
Using a stamp & die set call Man of the Moment, I stamped the top hat then masked it, then stamped the bear in black Versafine ink.
Watercolored the top hat in Sahara sand, and used a variety of Copic markers on the bear, and painted on the hair with a very small flat paintbrush using Sahara sand and Soft Suede inks.
Die cut the collar in Dapper denim striped DP, the bow tie in tangerine tango CS , and eye glasses in black CS and glued accordingly. Stamped sentiment in soft suede. Matted background DPÂ’s and assembled accordingly.
The inside sentiment.... Hope your day is spec-tacular!
This card will go to my dad.
IÂ’m having fun being a guest designer this month and will submit a second card soon!
Thanks for looking!

Oh my goodness, your bear is fabulous with his jaunty hat and spectacles, and is so wonderful for Father's Day! The striped and pattern papers form a great old fashioned, drawing room background design. Such a terrific card!

What a great Father's Day card, and I love the sentiment inside. A great pun! I love the way you masked and stamped, then colored and painted this wonderful image!

What a great "papa bear" card this is for Father's Day. This bear is looking very dapper indeed. I am really impressed with the way you colored this image in and with the fun layers. ~Karen.
